Why File Prep?
This is a necessary step to the digital fine art printing process to ensure a flawless final print. Our skilled staff will precisely match the print’s color and tone to the original work or optimize digital files for printing to the client’s specs.
We will spend whatever time it takes to get you comfortable presenting and selling your prints. We will inform you about the process and materials used and continue our consultation with other useful topics like: how and where to sell your prints, how to present your prints for sale, what price to ask for them, and much, much more. We consider all of our clients to be business partners.

A Giclee (pronounced ge-KLAY) print is a fine art print made with a high-end inkjet printer. When making a Giclee the artwork is captured, proofed and printed digitally. Prints are reproduced using precisely calibrated printers and archival inks. Giclee prints are quickly being recognized by the world’s leading galleries and museums as the finest reproductions available to date.
