The fidelity in detail, depth, and tonal gradation, which can make a Giclée
almost indistinguishable from the original.
F
The option of making a canvas any size for the individual
client.
F
The open ended opportunity to make even the most subtle
changes in each succeeding canvas, satisfying even the most devout perfectionist
( a fault to which I admit ).
F
The very practical advantage of one-at-a-time printing,
which eliminates the requirements for high-volume inventory.
F
And with the advent of pigmented, waterproof inks in DIGITAL PAINTER
process, the relative permanence of each canvas is assured.
The DIGITAL PAINTER
has completely changed our marketing routine at the Wren's Nest. As
soon as I complete a painting, we can go immediately to Giclée
production, and offer an edition to our collectors.

PS:
"....We have been so impressed with the performance of the DIGITAL
PAINTER System, that we purchased a printer and sidekick this year.
We have since been able to fine-tune our image files, and are able to
provide custom canvases immediately upon demand. The response among our
collectors has been uniformly enthusiastic."

As
a Wildlife Artist who attempts to achieve highly detailed originals with
smooth, subtle tones, I have seldom been fully satisfied with offset lithographic
reproductions of my work. My partner in the Wren's Nest, C.D. Hancock,
and I have published some 170-200 images over the past twenty-four years.
We have learned long ago that each press run would likely involve a few
disappointment - some, perhaps, not noticeable to the average observer
- but which would leave us with a nagging awareness that all of the qualities
of the original painting had not been captured.
Our introduction
to the DIGITAL PAINTER gave us a tremendous boost in optimism.
The technology that that is concentrated in this system has finally allowed
us to feel confident about the reproductions of my work, rather than just
explaining that a print is "as close as we could get to the original".
I am often reticent about promoting my work, but find it easy to point
out the tremendous advantages of our Giclée canvases:

"I have
been painting for thirty years now, and in the past I have only displayed
my original artwork. It was very time consuming and the profit from
one painting did not compare to the time spent on each piece. Finally
I heard about Giclées and decided to try it out. I first sent
my artwork to another company to test what my paintings would look like,
but I was not satisfied with the picture quality; the output did not
compare with my originals. After being introduced to The
Digital Painter at the Las Vegas show, I started doing business
with them, and was very pleased with their products and
their service. The picture quality is great and the colors are exceptional.
My customers cannot tell the difference between the Giclées and
my original paintings. The prices are also great, so I can sell the
Giclées affordably to my customers. Presently I display mostly
Giclées of my art work in my gallery and keep the originals,
or sell them at higher prices. The profits have increased and I don't
spend as much time thinking of new subjects to paint because I can sell
the same piece over and over again. I would highly recommend The
Digital Painter to every artist who is looking for quality
art reproduction."
