An Iris/Giclée print is the highest quality print available today. When the process is done correctly it consists of a one-to-one high-quality scan of the original, High Resolution Printers, and an ICC (International Color Consortium) color matching software package. There is no visible dot screen pattern the resulting image has all of the subtle tonalities of the original art.
Some of the advantages of Giclée reproductions: You can order prints as needed without large up-front obligations and storage problems associated with traditional lithography. This allows you to test market a new idea or image. You would continue to use a traditional lithographer for mass production of images.
Giclée reproductions are the perfect medium for established and emerging artists, allowing you much better control of your cash flow. You can order just one reproduction to matte and frame as a display piece. Then order more as orders come in. The technology provides incredible detail and brilliant color. The resolution (DPI or dots per inch) is actually higher than traditional lithography (1800 DPI for Giclée as opposed to 1200DPI for lithographs) which shows crisp contrast with rich, intense color. When canvas prints are treated with a waterproof UV coating, you can even hand embellish the image to produce another original piece.

Our talented framer on staff disassembles any frames before scanning the original. After the piece is scanned it is carefully placed back in the frame and re-papered. It is not necessary for the artist to dissemble there frames for scanning let us handle that for you.

Producing high-end Giclée prints is much more than color management and quality prints. The first, and often overlooked step, is capturing an image with accuracy and integrity. To achieve this, VanGoghAgain designed and manufactured the world's largest flatbed color scanner - the ECLIPSE.

The Iris printers produce an apparent resolution of 1800 dots per inch while spraying over 1 million droplets per second onto your selected substrate. The preciseness of the printing along with the depth of color range captures the subtleties of an original. The Iris printers utilize dye based inks with an incredible color gaumet. The longevity of the prints are 75 years. The prints must be protected and treated gently.

The Epson and Mutoh printers are pigmented printers which gives a life expectance of one hundred years and protects the prints from water. However the color gamunt is not as wide as dye based inks.
