Giclée Direct use a large format digital camera to produce 45 megapixel images. This is almost 10 times the resolution of consumer digital cameras! Put simply, this means we can photograph artwork at print resolution (300dpi) in one-shot up to a maximum size of 24 x 16 inches. Sizes larger than this involve taking two or more photographs then stitching them together using dedicated software.

The digital image contains no grain (like conventional film) and is a first-generation image. In comparison, conventional film must be scanned using a drum scanner (second-generation) before printing resulting in some loss of detail.

Film Scanning

If access to the original artwork is not possible we can also print from transparencies. Transparencies are scanned at resolutions up to 5500dpi to get as much detail from the film as is possible.
