Gicle The word gicle is derived from the French word for spray and refers to the technical manner in which the ink jets spray pigmented inks onto specialized coated archival substrates. Gicle prints are also called archival pigment prints.
Photolab Studio prints are made with archival pigment inks that are suspended micro-encapsulated chemicals with extremely pure color characteristics and high end watercolor papers or canvas. This is in contrast to inks found in low cost desktop inkjet printers. Our print-makers have been studying and working in the industry since its earliest days in the 1990s.
Chrome on Paper: why we love it Kodak Metallic Paper has a glossy finish and metallic-looking appearance which creates images with exceptional visual interest and depth.

Try it for senior portraits, sports & special events, fine portraiture weddings and displays.

Photographers say the look is chrome on paper." And it works great with B&W too. Come in a check out our sample prints. See our prices

Art Reproduction Photolab will scan and master a digital image of your original artwork. Watercolor, charcoal and pencil drawings, oil paintings and mixed media all lend themselves well to this technique. Our art reproduction process allows you to make unlimited (or limited edition) prints in sizes larger, smaller or the same as your original. Our giclee printing studio system uses high end Epson and Canon printers, custom software rips, proprietary profiles and hardware calibration throughout.
