Print sizes & resolution

We print at your file's native resolution — no upscaling to fake detail. Standard sizes run from A5 up to A0 (841 × 1189mm), and we cut to any custom dimension in between or beyond for oversized pieces.

  • A5–A0 standard sizes, plus fully custom dimensions
  • Oversized and panoramic prints beyond A0
  • White border or full-bleed printing to your spec
  • Minimum 150 DPI at print size recommended for crisp detail

Reproductions & limited editions

Turn an original into a sellable print range. We scan or colour-match from your file, then produce open or numbered limited editions with the paperwork collectors expect.

  • Scan-to-print reproduction from originals up to A1, colour-matched to the artwork
  • Numbered limited editions with a signed certificate of authenticity
  • Batch-consistent reprints — later runs matched to your first edition
  • Blind-embossing and edition stamping available on request
  • Soft-proofed and signed off before any run goes to print

Giclée printing FAQs

What is giclée printing?

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a fine art printing process that uses archival pigment inks and a high-resolution inkjet to reproduce artwork on cotton-rag or baryta fine art paper. The result is a gallery-grade print with wide colour gamut and 100+ year lightfastness — the standard for selling art reproductions and limited editions.

What papers do you print on?

We print on Hahnemühle, Canson, and Fotospeed fine art stocks — cotton-rag and baryta, in matte, smooth, textured, and satin finishes. Tell us the look you want and we will recommend a stock, or send you a sample.

Can I order prints framed?

Yes. Every giclée print can be supplied unframed or handcrafted into a bespoke frame with a mount and glazing of your choice. We print, frame, quality-check, and ship as one order.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We print on demand, so you can order a single print or a run of thousands at the same quality. This makes it suited to artists selling on demand and to trade customers stocking editions.

Do you offer wholesale or trade pricing?

Yes. Trade accounts get volume giclée pricing that scales with monthly print count, plus optional NET payment terms. Apply for a trade account and we will set your discount tier.

Can you dropship prints under my brand?

Yes. We fulfil white-label: prints and frames ship directly to your customer with your branding and no Print Frame Co. marketing. Order manually, via our Shopify app, or through the API.
