Giclee Printing: Our giclee printing is one of the best reproduction methods available. It is a process that uses a 12 colour ink jet printer, acid free paper and
pigment based archival inks which last for well over 100 years and won't fade. These prints are of much higher quality than bulk prints made using traditional
lithography, displaying vivid colours, crisp detail and colour accuracy.
