Fine Art printing

Prudence Cuming provides a comprehensive fine art digital printing service, using the widest colour range printers and optimum profiling capabilities including FOGRA proofing to achieve the highest quality reproductions.

Giclée printing on Fine Art paper

Derived from the French term meaning “to spray”, Giclée printing involves using inkjet printers with a broad colour range to precisely match colours and apply ink to produce detailed and vibrant reproductions of original artworks. Favoured by artists and galleries for its ability to capture vibrant colours, nuances, and intricate details, giclée printing serves as a preferred method for creating reproductions of paintings, photographs, and digital art on various mediums such as fine art paper and canvas with a variety of finishes.

Canvas reproduction service

This process consists of capturing a digital file through photography, in-house test scaling and colour matching, giclée printing direct to canvas, varnishing, and professionally stretching onto branded or exhibition quality wooden frames, ready to hang.

Producing our canvas reproductions in-house from the start to the end of the process gives an exceptionally high-quality finish. Regular clients, including galleries and private individuals, appreciate our attention to detail in colour matching and proofing to the highest professional standards.

Foamboard Mounting

Ideal for advertising, promotional campaigns, and window displays, this process involves applying a giclée print to foamboard.

Artist Editions

Collaborating closely with artists throughout the edition process, from photography and proofing to the final print run

Large-scale printing and artwork mounting

Through our partner companies, we extend services for large-scale printing and artwork mounting, including options like aluminium mounting and DIASEC®—a process that permanently seals an image with acrylic for added protection.

Printing of Digital Files

We offer versatile printing services for digital files on gloss and satin paper. From postage stamp to poster size, our high-quality prints showcase sharp details and vibrant colours. Whether for small-scale projects or large artworks, our printing ensures a professional finish tailored to your specific requirements.

Our Fine Art Printing Services

Project Requirements

We customise our approach to meet the unique requirements of each project, fostering collaboration with the artist or working from a provided brief. Each print is meticulously set up by a trained and qualified fine art print technician. Leveraging our knowledge and experience, we offer valuable feedback and involve the artist throughout.

Print Set-Up

Our fine art print technicians handle the setup of each print, this includes resizing, cropping, and tonal corrections. We also provide basic retouching to ensure prints are in a ready format. When clients send us digital files for printing, we include a complimentary image check, reviewing resolution, sharpness, and tone. Our team offers advice on image suitability for optimal results, making necessary changes collaboratively.

Proofing Process

We proof each reproduction using test strips on fine art paper. This comprehensive check ensures the tonal range, surface textures, and overall sharpness meet our high standards. Test strips can be directly sent to clients for further approval, particularly useful when the artwork is located remotely.

Flexible Print on Demand

Whether it's a unique piece or multiple editions, our print on demand service provides clients with complete flexibility on the number of prints they wish to produce. Prints undergo a thorough quality check by our technicians before being collected from our Mayfair studio or delivered to clients in the UK or internationally via a tracked delivery service.
