Printer & Ink Technology for Fine Art Giclée

How our Epson SureColor platform and UltraChrome pigment inks deliver wide gamut, smooth tonality and archival permanence.

Our Printer Platform

We print on Epson SureColor fine-art printers — purpose-built for Giclée production with precise paper handling, stable heads and consistent output across editions.

UltraChrome Pigment Inkset

We use Epson UltraChrome 10-colour pigment inks. Pigments sit within the paper’s coating, resisting fade and giving clean neutrals, deep blacks and smooth tonal ramps.

Colour Gamut & Accuracy

The system offers a very wide gamut (around 99% Pantone coverage in practical terms), excellent shadow detail and smooth skin tones. Choice of paper affects apparent saturation and dMax; see our Paper Guide for how each stock behaves.

Archival Longevity

On museum-grade papers, modern UltraChrome pigment prints are commonly rated around 80–120 years under typical indoor display. Framing behind UV glazing and avoiding direct sunlight extends life further.

Colour-Managed Workflow

Files print through calibrated ICC profiles matched to each paper. For colour-critical work, we recommend a thumbnail proof or proof-strip before running the full sheet.

Any images that are the wrong shape are automatically cropped so that they fit
Before you buy the cards, you can check what they will look like using the preview.
