How Are Tam’s Giclee Prints printed?

Tam’s Giclee prints are printed on the finest archival papers, using the latest Epson professional Ultrachrome inks. Compared to most high street printers, who print at 360 dpi with 2 passes (no. of times a print head passes over an area), Tam’s giclee printing service is set to 1440 dpi, with 8 passes, using an Epson HDR 10-colour pigment ink system profiled for accurate colour reproduction.

Using their state-of-the-art print software, prints are sharp, detailed, and vibrant. They maximise the colour gamut for every paper they offer and capture open shadow detail, true blues and natural skin tones for every image they print. 3-level black ink technology means better grey balance, impressive mid-tones, and no colour casts, for true black and white reproduction.
