An image capture is essentially a hybrid of a photograph and a scan. It is made using a digital scanning back in a traditional medium format camera.  It actually scans the original from top to bottom through an open camera aperture.  This is the best form of digital preservation possible for your originals. All the best museums and galleries utilize this form of photography for their originals. This process replaced the transparency or film step in art reproduction.  Now the scan goes directly into the computer and there is literally no information lost from the original painting like there used to be with film. This kind of image capture is the very best kind of photography you can have of your originals.

Our graphic professionals adjust or optimize the components of your image – colour contract exposure in a scan to achieve the most accurate reproduction. The complexity of file optimizing varies from easy to difficult depending on the dyes and pigments in the original artwork and the printing device being used.

Giclée printing is a process that uses fade-resistant, archival inks and archival substrates to print on large format printers. This process is often used by artists to make reproductions of their original artwork, photographs or computer-generated art for resale while preserving the original. The term Giclée printing is based on the French word “le gicleur” meaning “nozzle”, or more specifically “gicler” meaning “to squirt, spurt, or spray”. 905print guarantees high quality Giclée printing and works with the artists to create gallery-quality reproductions of their work.
