Giclee Printing Prices
Costs
Giclee Printing costs folow a simple equasion;
(size of the giclee) x (price of the paper) x (number of giclees printed)
The size of the giclee is measured in square foot i.e 12” by 12” which includes the width of any white border desired. The price of the paper is also per sq.ft and varies by the quality of the paper chosen. For example an 11” x 17” (1.3 sq.ft.) giclee on Hahnemühle Photo Rag which is charged at $23 per sq ft would be $29.90.

Automatic discounts are offered for the quantity of prints made, it's always more cost effective to print more at one go and to encourage larger orders we return these savings to you. So a single print at a small size is charged at the full price. Multiples of the same print and even a single larger print are eligible for a discount of 15% if the combined square footage goes over 5 square feet and 30% if the it goes over 10 square ft. so a 24” x 36” (6 sq.ft.) on the same paper as the first example would be $96 or $16.00 per square ft.
Item quantity refers to either the number of giclees or to the square footage so a single giclee of 6 sq.ft will cost the same as 6 identical prints each 1 sq.ft in size though it applies only to multiples of the same giclee. For discounts on larger quantities ask us for a quote.
