THE QUEST FOR PERFECTION SETS US APART

We create giclee reproductions using our ABCD System:

• Aspect
• Brush Stroke
• Color
• Detail
• Without our ABCD System, we don’t have a giclee print.

We use the Zig-align System for precision parallelism of the camera lens with painting. Without precision alignment, to the naked eye looking through the camera lens the plane of the lens will seem to be parallel to the painting. With the Zig-align System our reproductions are in sharp focus.   To learn about parallelism visit: www.zig-align.com

Talented positioning of our Northlight Reproduction Lighting System makes our prints stand out from the rest. We thoroughly study the original art to identify the paintings unique texture and brush stroke.

Brush stroke and texture are key elements in defining shape and emotion.   A quality reproduction will entice your audience to touch the print to "see" if it is the original.

Good lighting and parallelism are only part of the reproduction.  Color is the most obvious element that distinguishes the match with the original.  It is true that we all perceive color in unique way's, but we can all see "exactness". A quality giclee print will have insignificant differences in color.

With every brush stroke mixes of color and geometry are defined.  From the ripples in a quiet pool on the bank of a river to the delicate lashes above a horses eye, detail is the crowning achievement of the reproduction.  Each flash, each glimmer of light should be as sharp as the original painting.  Standing equal distant from the original and the reproduction those details should have equal presence.

The ABCD of a good print all come together because of our Better Light Scan Back large format digital camera. For a discussion of how Scan Back cameras work visit:  www.betterlight.com

Our truth is, there are no point and shoot methods for a quality reproduction. There are studios that will give you a $75.00 point and shoot photo of your artwork and you will have a photograph of your painting that in the major respects resembles your original. Also, for an additional charge they will provide color adjustments. We are not a point and shoot reproduction company.

IF WE DON’T POINT AND SHOOT, . . . WHAT DO WE DO?

• a cd copy of your precision scanned digital file
• four proofs on fine art media
• (2) final full size reproductions (max width "34")

What Are We Doing For The Price?

• We will scan the original multiple times using unique settings to choose which raw image scan most closely resembles the original.
• We will print multiple proofs of each scan with fine tuned color adjustments.
• The four finest proofs we will present to you for inspection.
• Based on your direction we will generate the final reproduction.
