DIGITAL PRINTMAKING BASICS


      There are many questions that arise when clients make the decision to take the next step in their art sales and offer Giclee prints. We have put together a brief synopsis of answers to the most commonly asked questions.

      Nevada Art Printers can print from your files or we can create ultra high resolution files that are calibrated for faithful reproductions on our equipment.

      For the best reproductions, Artists will schedule a "session" similar to a portrait session and bring us their original artwork where we will prep a digital file for output under highly controlled conditions to match the original with our printing technology.

MONITOR SETUP & COLOR ACCURACY


    The quality of your monitor will have a profound impact on the accurcy and quality of files if you are preparing them yourself for print.

    The chart above is a calibrated test image that is useful for determining your monitors health and color accuracy. It is available from Nevada Art Printers as a printed reference target upon request.

    Take note of the boxes with arrows pointing toward them. On a well calibrated high quality monitor you should barely be able to make out the box from the surrounding area. A good place to start is to adjust your monitors contrast to 100% and adjust the brightness down until you get as close a match on the boxes as possible.

Setup Fees are for artwork that is newly created and the artist wants the highest possible quality


    Setup Fees are for artwork that is newly created and the artist wants the highest possible quality reproductions created. We will create high resolution master files that capture all of the fine printable detail of the original and color correct the file so the original color is reflected in the Giclee. We store the proprietary file on our server so future prints are ready to be created at your demand.

    The setup fee includes an 8 x 12 proof print that the client must aprove before reproductions are made. The Client keeps the proof and gets a web sized version of the proprietary file for use on their website or emailing.

    Setup Fees vary based on original artwork size. Larger originals require more scan passes, more computer processing time and take up more memory on our server archive.
