THE GALLERYA collection of fine exhibition quality prints, ready for framing. Individual prints are produced to order on
archival paper using fine-art processes. Depending on the character of the image, prints are made using a C-type
Lambda or Geclee process. In general, the C-type Lambda process, with rich blacks and brilliant whites retain the
photographic feel and quality, while Geclee prints have a softer “art print” quality. Both types of process produce
excellent, archival quality, results. These are the processes used by galleries, museums and artists to produce
exceptionally fine prints. Prints are produced individually and take up to a week to prepare before dispatch packed flat between heavy boards
for protection.
