Giclée printer in the uk

October 26, 2013 2:16 AM

I need to get 4 roughly A3 sized giclée prints produced from my own digital artwork for an art show and I'm looking for a printing company in the UK. I really need them by the end of the coming week. I live in a rural area so I need somewhere that does mail order. There is a general print shop in my nearest town but I don't think they'll be able to do the quality I'll need from an ordinary print (although I could be wrong I've done this before) I've tried a couple of companies with other things but I was not happy with the quality of one and the other has still not delivered a week after their quoted turn around time. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I haven't used Art4Site but their prices are good since you'll be printing from digital, and the site features a range of very positive testimonials. I'm looking for a giclee printer myself, and they're top of my list for places to get samples from.

diginate have great customer service, fast turnaround and are high quality. Not sure if they are the standard you require though.

Response by poster: Thanks for those... I'd looked at Art4Site/www.gicleeprinting.co.uk but they are bit out of my price range but if ever needed something tricky printing (ie lots of murky dark colours that are hard to reproduce) and I was flush then I definitely look at them again

I checked out diginate but unfortunatly their turn around time would have taken me too close to my deadline

In the end I went with these guys - Spectrum Photo - I'm really pleased with the result
