ABOUT MY SERVICES
I have built a state-of-the-art digital darkroom here at Tom Kutz Photography, offering complete solutions for your digital printing and fine art reproduction needs. We have a broad range of print media, from basic photo gloss paper to watercolor paper and cotton rag canvas. And whether you'd like a 8-by-10 inch reproduction of your favorite photograph or a reproduction of your latest work of art printed at 24-by-96 inches (that's huge!), we can do it!

HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL CAPTURE

At Tom Kutz Photography we don't just scan your originals. We use a High Resolution Digital View Camera to photograph your artwork. Size, shape, texture does not limit or impede our ability to reproduce your artwork with 100% accuracy. Our studio camera captures 42 bits of color information, ensuring clarity and detail of your artwork.
   
 

About The Giclée Printmaking ProcessThe French word "Giclée" (pronounced zhee-clay) translates in English to "spraying of ink". Giclée prints are high-resolution digital reproductions of original artwork using sophisticated printers that spray tiny droplets of ink onto media such as watercolor papers, canvas and other substrates. The Giclée process provides better color accuracy than any other means of reproduction. Done properly, Giclée prints are hard to distinguish from original artwork. Highly collectable, Giclée prints are an established medium in the fine arts community and are well accepted in museums and galleries around the world.


Tom Kutz Photography can provide all the necessary services that you require to bring your original art to life as a beautiful, vibrant Giclée print. And since there is never a minimum print run requirement, limited edition reproductions are easily within the financial reach of every artist.

  
PRINTING EQUIPMENT
We feature the Epson 4000 and 7600 series inkjet printers for completing the Giclée Process. With a seven color system and the capability to produce a single drop of ink as small as 4 picoliters, these printers are able to lay down over two million drops per square inch of paper! This assures the finest reproductions available today, with no visible sign of the inkjet process. Additionally, Epson machines exclusively utilize the Variable Droplet MicroPiezo DX3 Technology which allows the print head to produce up to three different droplet sizes per print line, creating the purest color transitions in the least amount of time possible.
Our prints are available on a variety of media and have a light fast rating of 100 years for full-color reproductions and 100+ years for black and white reproductions. We use only the highest quality Epson Ultrachrome™ Inks in our printers, which assure consistent, museum-quality results every time we output. Full color reproductions are available in sizes ranging from 8-by-10 to 24-by-100.
