Fine Art Giclee printing by Skink Ink

Skink Ink specializes in giclee printing which is digital fine art printmaking or inkjet printing on wide format printers using pigmented inks and archival papers. Giclee prints can be made on any of a number of substrates from canvases or watercolor papers to photographic papers and banner materials.

The giclee printing process is guaranteed by the manufacturers of the ink and the paper to make archival prints capable of lasting more than 100 years. Which is why they are popular with contemporary artists, museums and collectors as a way of making exhibition prints from digital files.

In addition with giclee printing we can also make books or wall hangings. We also photo-retouch, color-correct and can scale-up small images. We make giclees on canvas and we stretch and spray varnish to protect them from UV or water damage. We understand that your work is precious and it's not just about dropping off the file and picking up a print there are judgement calls and aesthetic as well as financial choices to be made.

We're not a gallery but we do sell giclee prints and it's a good way of showing off our skills so we are offering a selection of crop circle images by Steve Alexander that we have printed for this UK based photographer. To see more images go to the gallery or explore the site for more information.
