To create our Fine Art Reproductions, we use the same Betterlight™ Imaging System
used by the worlds leading museums. This system allows us to capture every subtle
detail no matter how large the original artwork.
Our Photographer
In addition to being TruGiclée™ certified, Ron Finley is one of two photographers
featured on the Betterlight™ Imaging System Homepage. Ron's Betterlight™ technical
proficiency is sought out by fine artists and the top photographic reproduction houses
from around the world.
The Epson 9600 & Fade-Resistant UltraChrome™ Inks
The Epson 9600 has been designed in collaboration with top photographers and
printmakers. The professional level Epson 9600 incorporates technologies that
have never before been available to printing professionals, including advances in
ink, print head and engine design.
Epson UltraChrome™ Inks produce prints with a stunning range of colors, as well
as great-looking black and white images. Taking full advantage of Epson
UltraChrome™ Ink technology, Epson engineered a brand new Micro Piezo
DX3™ print head able to produce images of 2,880 x 1,440 dpi.
Lightfastness of color UltraChrome™ prints made on the Epson Stylus Pro 9600
is rated up to 82 years under glass; lightfastness of black and white prints is
rated at more than 100 years under glass.
We are TruGiclée™ certified Master Printers by the Giclée Printers Association (GPA). Our
commitment to both our artists and our collectors is that we will seek out the best technology
available to capture images of the artwork we offer and to reproduce it using only the most
archival papers, canvases and inks. We work hand in hand with the artist during the proof
process to ensure that we are creating exact replicas of the original artwork that you will be
proud to display on the walls of your home or office.
We have chosen to use Hahnemühle Digital FineArt paper
exclusively for creating our Giclées on Paper.
Hahnemühle Photo Rag is renowned as the best fine art paper
for Giclées. It contains no wood products, no bleach... just pure
cotton rag which is as archival as it gets.
This paper is unsurpassed for professional and Fine Art Giclée
printing. The Digital FineArt papers combine the precision of
modern photographic papers and the unique charm of artistic
papers. The Fine Art Giclées we produce on this paper boast a
particularly attractive brilliance, unique feel, unparalleled surface
structure and wide color gamut. Collectors will find our museum
quality reproductions printed on this paper virtually
indistinguishable from the original artwork.
