Giclee (zhee-klay) Digital Pinting

Giclee prints typically are made with a professional 8 or 12-color archival inkjet printer.

One of many reasons that reasons in which giclee’s hae become popular is that they are one of the few methods of printing which can rival the rich tone and archival qualities of the silver-halide and gelatin printing process, or “silver printing”.
Unlike the past when the digital process was heavily questioned by sceptics, many example of giclee printing can be found in places such as New York’s Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries.

MV Labs is equipped with the new Canon image PROGRAF® 8100.

This 12-color pigment based printer is generation 2 of the only printers capable of output in true 16bit.

This allows for the smoothest possible gradations in tone and the finest giclee prints available to date.

Scanning:
Scanning is a process by which the image negative or positive is read by an optical lens and captured into a digital file.

Archiving
Archiving is the process of making an exact match of the original image. This process is useful to backup prints that no longer have usable negatives and negatives which have become too old ordamaged to print .

This quality rating is good for digital presentation and web use.

Retouching: $90 per hour
Usually for commercially used images retouching is the process of eliminating blemishes, lines, and unsightly aspects of an image. Color correction for output is judged through fully calibrated monitors and white and black points are mathematically calculated with the 255 range of digital shading.

Restoration: $125 per hour
The process by which an image rebuilt via copying areas of similar texture and or introducing new textures to match the original. Restoration is a process that can be applied to any age print or negative.
The process starts with a high resolution scan which is then restored in Photoshop.
The file can be outputted on digital media but for authenticity the file can be turned back into a negative and be printed traditionally.
With the exception of positive film or “chrome” most negatives should be printed as they are desired and then the print, scanned. This preserves the images finer qualities.
