  Giclee Printing Companies
We are receiving a high number of calls from new customers who have found out their giclee printers have gone out of business. In this economy it is not surprising; we are actually experiencing a very high work load and had to stop accepting new customers until September 15th. Even then, the wait period is 2 weeks. Bear with us as we are working as hard as possible to satisfy orders.

What we find interesting is that many of the companies (we cannot name names) that have closed doors were lower priced than us. We have never tried to compete with low end no name products such as chinese made canvas and papers. Our standards are high and we only use european and american substrates; we use K3 Epson pigmented inks and not cheap bulk reservoirs. Even in this economy people are looking for quality products even if they cost a little more. After all, would you rather buy a $45 cheap giclee or a $55 giclee made with archival made materials? Will your "made with chinese materials" $45 giclee be worth the $10 savings if it yellows and cracks in a year or two? See what we use: our giclee prints are well described and you know what you are paying for.

I'm curious, are there chinese materials that ARE high quality?

After ordering oil paintings from a Chinese manufacturer, I was impressed with how they looked. But will they crack and fade a few years from now?

Thanks for an interesting read!
