At 803 Labs, we understand that your art is an extension of yourself. That is why our premier fine art reproduction services are designed to honor your original vision. From local gallery creators to independent illustrators, we help artists digitize, color-match, and print museum-quality Giclée reproductions that sell.
The 803 Labs Difference: Advanced Digital Capture
We do not use standard scanners. Over the past decade, camera technology has vastly outpaced scanner capabilities. At 803 Labs Inc., we utilize high-end, studio-grade cameras and lenses under meticulously controlled lighting. This state-of-the-art capture process yields incredible tonal range, sharp detail, and adequate file sizes.
Precision Color Matching
Art reproduction requires a human touch. An experienced human eye is superior to digital tools when it comes to matching colors. Our rigorous color-matching process involves printing micro-proofs and comparing them directly to your original artwork. We balance overall density, saturation, and individual color values across multiple test prints until the proof mirrors your original.
Every project includes your color-matched digital files on a complimentary USB flash drive or DVD, alongside a physical master match print. This match print serves as your ultimate quality guarantee, ensuring your work looks spectacular now and provides an exact reference point for any future printing needs.
Premium Materials for Every Medium
Once your master file is created, we bring it to life on premium, archival-grade materials. Elevate your portfolio with stunning options, including:
- Fine Art Mediums: Canvas, texture-rich watercolor paper, and enhanced matte paper
- Merchandise: Custom postcards, elegant note cards, and die-cut stickers.
- Specialty Projects: Custom-printed wallpaper.
Understanding the Medium: A Note for Artists
To ensure you get the absolute best results, our team guides you through the technical realities of print replication:
- Out-of-Gamut Colors: The human eye can perceive certain vibrant colors that modern printers cannot physically replicate. We review your artwork at drop-off to identify these areas and seamlessly shift them to the closest possible printable match.
- The Magic of Metallics: Shimmering metallic paints change based on your viewing angle, but digital capture locks them into a single state. To restore that original depth, we recommend applying a light metallic paint glaze directly over your finished Giclée prints.
- The Role of Paper Tone: Giclée printing does not use white ink; the paper itself dictates your brightest highlights. A base paper darker than your original will subtly soften contrast, while a lighter paper will crisp up the highlights.
- Process Variations: Because 803 Labs utilizes three distinct print technologies, minor shifts naturally occur between canvas, matte paper, and stationery. We custom-calibrate your files for each medium to guarantee maximum consistency across your entire product line.
