Pricing: Fine Art and Photographic Paper Prints

We're very happy to be working with some excellent photographers and artists for their exhibition, gallery and portfolio prints. What's probably not as evident as it should be from our web site is that we provide more options than gallery-wrapped canvas prints; though these are indeed our standard fare.

We are delighted to additionally offer unstretched canvas prints, and prints on fine art, photographic, and plain coated papers. Whether the output needs to suit your needs in photographic prints; art reproduction, digital art, illustration and so on; we're sure that one of these alternatives is bound to be ideal. There are a plethora of other media types available, but the ones we stock are the ones most commonly requested.

As the website doesn't make a clear mention of it, the standard canvas (unstretched) and media costs (Excl. GST), per square foot required, are as follows:

  • Canvas - spraycoated* = $29 psf
  • Canvas - unsprayed = $25 psf
  • Fine Art paper (textured or smooth) = $25 psf
  • Archival Photographic papers (satin or glossy) = $19 psf
  • Satin "Poster" photographic paper = $15 psf
  • Plain coated paper = $12 psf.
* Spraycoating also available for fine art papers at $5 psf)

To calculate a square foot, multiply the media height and width required for your print (in inches), then divide by 144 (12x12 inches is one square foot). This is the number of square feet - now multiply this number ny the psf (per square foot) rate above, and you have your quote.

$50 minimum order.

For example - 24 x 17 print run (sufficient for A2 print) on fine art paper = 24*17/144*25= $70.83 (excl). This same page size could of course yield 2 x A3 prints, 4 x A4 prints, etc.

We Aim to Please :-)

We love what we do, and love even more when the outcomes delight our customers. Today we received a really nice bit of feedback that just has to be shared. The project was a birthday gift to be delivered under tight time-frame to the other end of the country - pressure was on! We got it there on time (Friday just gone), and here's what our customer had to say in an unsolicited email received before lunch today (Monday)...


"Well, the picture was leaning up against my desk when I arrived on Friday! I of course had to unpack it straight away and I showed it to everyone at work and ended up giving away all of your cards. So don't be surprised if a few people from down this way get in touch!
Anyway we gave it to Dad yesterday, and he was absolutely blown away with it. It went straight up on the wall (and actually onto a different wall than I had pictured, he was so rapt with it he had to put it on the main wall above their fire) and he wandered around it all afternoon admiring it :-)
Can't thank you enough for all your help in getting this done, I couldn't have got something he was so happy with without your guidance and input.
We will definitely be in touch to have something done up for our house very soon, we've just been given all our wedding photos and we'll absolutely want some done on canvas.
Until then, all my thanks to you for Dad's present!

Cheers, [Dxxxx]"


Isn't that great?

In the Frame

Already posted this to the Facebook page when it arrived, but for consistency's sake we like to have our glowing Testimonials published here, too. It was a pleasure to receive this unsolicited feedback at the end of last year:

"As Picture Framers, our clients seek every conceivable form of presentation for their art, posters, memorabilia and photographs. The one format we were not able to offer to clients with confidence, was reproductions on quality canvas.


Our Gallery was introduced to Giclee Print about 2 years ago. We quickly realised that GPL's attention to detail, quality of printing and ability to meet agreed delivery promises, would meet our clients requirements and more. All at fair prices.


We are delighted and have no hesitation in recommending Giclee Print as a source for reproductions on canvas when you need the reliability of top class equipment and service."

We've done some great photo-restoration work and montages for Gary and Wendie, and they've introduced new clients our way as well, so we're pleased as punch to have received these kinds words.
