Hi all

I've been looking for a while for a printer where I can get good quality (but good value) giclee prints as I wanted to do some limited editions and am very happy to have found one at last:

http://www.digitalprintdesign.co.uk/

They do excellent quality giclee prints for a very reasonable price and you can order as many or as few as you like (obviously the more you buy the cheaper it gets but it's nice to have the choice). They're based in Essex but if you don't live locally (and I certainly don't) you can do it all by email/post, send them your high-res image, get a proof if you need it and then order your prints. Once you're on the system you can just phone up and order more prints as and when you need them, they do cards, postcards, all the other stuff too. The contact there is Martin Lucas, if you decide to use him please tell him I sent you!

cheers
Elise

Thanks for that Elise :) I shoud have heard of them living in Essex :oops:

Have you had some done?

I had one done on a box canvas from somewhere else and was dissapointed with the Colour and light.

Yes, I've had a load of prints and cards done (getting ready for the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston next week) and I'm really pleased with the colour reproduction and quality. They'll provide you with an A4 proof (costs £5) if you want it, that way you can check whether the colour is the way you want it. They do prints onto box canvas, I haven't tried that yet but based on my experience to date I'd be surprised if they weren't good too.
