1) Artists Package … Product Match.
Most of our work is for fine artists. It is our goal to provide value as well as high quality. It's difficult to cut corners to save money when working with top quality equipment and personnel, but we can add features to make the package more valuable. The Artists Package starts with a scan at the highest resolution the piece allows. We guarantee this will be at least 100MB but it is usually, 200-400 +MB. This is large enough for any current or foreseeable use. You could even print billboards if you wish! In addition to the scan, all color correction and proofing necessary to match the original as closely as current printing technology will allow is included at no additional charge. Proofing is done at reduced size.
Finally, we provide a CD, DVD, or for a modest extra charge, a USB Thumb drive containing:
- The large size scan
- A version sized for full page ads
- Several Postcard versions
- 2 different sizes optimized for website, email, and other digital uses.
- We also provide a plethora of free services related to marketing your work. Make sure you ask about them!

2) Commercial Scan … Pleasing Color.
(This option is available for originals up to 28”X38”) These are appropriate when one is only needing a smaller file. Perhaps for a Postcard or ad, or a Giclée print of a small original. If you never plan to print larger than, perhaps, 14-16 inches in the largest dimension. We call this our Commercial Scan because it was developed for use by galleries and others that might need a file for a postcard or magazine ad, but will never need prints. It consists of a 30 or 50 Megabyte scan, in-house on-screen correction to closely match your original, and a reduced size proof for your approval.
It also includes a CD of the file along with Internet optimized small versions for website and email use. Need a higher resolution file? We can provide as large a file as you need for an small extra fee! This is a Pleasing Color scan, which means that viewed apart from each other, the proof is a good representation of the original. Further correction and proofing is available for at our standard Photoshop rates.

Step 2: Ink on Paper
The printing is much easier to describe. Basically, we charge by the actual paper size used, including any borders. The total square inches are calculated and then multiplied by the cost for the selected papers.
All our Giclée and Photographic papers, canvases and inks are archival with a minimum of 80 years fade resistance, as determined by the Wilhelm Institute. We'll behappy to show you samples at your convenience.
