LIGHTFAST GICLEE PRINTS PASS THE ANNUAL TEST.

Every year as print members of the Fine Art Guild we here at Abacus (Colour Printers) Ltd have to submit a fine art giclee print for independent testing. Both the paper and ink are tested for their lightfastness on the blue wool scale. An actual “live" giclee printed image is sent to the independent laboratory for testing at our expense.
Each year we have always passed this extensive examination to claim that the pigmented giclee inks are still the most permanent available today. We at Abacus (Colour Printers) Ltd remain loyal members of the Fine Art Trade Guild as our aims are the same - to ensure the most accurate permanent reproduction of an artist’s work.

We print giclee prints on both paper and canvas for our nationwide artistic clientele only using the best guaranteed acid free papers and 100% cotton canvas.
The giclee printing department is the entire responsibility of Sarah, who has artistic training. Such training enables her to communicate with our clients in a sensitive understanding way. Tone, colours in artistic terms, hue, richness, feeling and quality of reproduction are all important aspects of this communication. This is unique to Abacus.
However no giclee print can be successful without the best pre-press repro. Here at Abacus (Colour Printers) Ltd we have not one but two drum scanners to ensure accurate,sharp reproduction of your flexible painting. However no machine is any good without a skilful operator and Danny our repro manager has over 20 years experience of scanning fine art.

This all offers an unbeatable combination which ensures the best giclee prints. Why not give Sarah a call today to discuss your print requirements and ask about our 2011 offers.
