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.

Welcome to, and Testimonial from Ali Teo - Illustrator

We are super-proud to welcome Ali Teo as a new client. Our first job for Ali has been for prints on fine art paper to go in an exhibition of a selection of Ali's published illustrations from children's books. Naturally we wanted to do a good job; and this is what Ali had to say:

"I make my living from my artwork so I am very picky about having it reproduced properly, but I am happy to say that Giclee Print Limited's attention to detail exceeded even mine. The quality of the art paper prints was above my expectations and the service was personal yet highly professional. Mike and Jenny went the extra mile and it shows in the results. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with Giclee Print Limited."
- Ali Teo, February 2008

Testimonial from Shona Moller and Bryce Moller

We are privileged and proud of the work we do for excellent artists all over New Zealand. One such artist is the internationally acclaimed Shona Moller, based in Kapiti. Shona's art gallery director husband Bryce Moller contacted us toproduce some canvas work Shona needed done to form a component of some of her pieces for an exhibition in London earlier this year. Our small contribution was actually started last year for that exhibition, and we've subsequently produced more pieces for the next show. We're always fascinated by the transformation!

Needless to say we are enormously proud of our involvement with such successful people, and even more so when we are presented with a testimonial of their satisfaction with our work that goes like this:

'The service and quality from Giclee Print has always been and continues to be exceptional. There has never been a need for us to investigate alternative suppliers as we know that we are receiving the rare combination of both the highest quality product at the best price. We have always found Giclee Print to be innovative, responsive and professional and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.' - Bryce Moller

Bryce generously describes as innovative, but check out this photoof a chair, and tell me who's innovative, when you learn that Bryce and Shona had it upholstered using canvas that we printed for them! How cool is that?

Testimonial from Jeremy Hill

Flicking through the testimonials at Jeremy Hill's website, it's obvious that here is a person people relate to, and whose services people enjoy on an individual as well as a professional level.

We're especially pleased that our own services are highly thought of by Jeremy, in the same way. To be endorsed as follows is really one of the things that makes us tick - thanks Jeremy!

Over the last few years I have had many canvas images printed through various businesses and all of them have fallen short of my expectations. From the first order I sent through to Mike and Jenny at Gicleeprint Ltd I have received nothing but professional service! The quality of their canvas is the very best I have seen by a country mile and the pricing is brilliant! The colours of each canvas are so vivid and the whole process is so simple and professional. To top it off I know being a professional photographer that my work is in the very best hands. I know Mike and Jenny are passionate about what they are doing. They care about their work and they care about people and that’s why you will receive such personalised service.

Kindest regards,
Jeremy Hill

We're happy to be working with Jeremy to produce beautiful canvas prints of his wonderful portraits, and we're sure you'll enjoy the experience of working with him, too. Check out his whole site, here: www.jeremyhill.co.nz

Testimonial from Imagenation

Working alongside creative people and delivering at a professional level is what we love to do and what we strive to excel at.

That's why we're delighted when someone like Richard Murray - artist for (and director of) Imagenation sends us praise such as the following:

"As a business specialising in creating unique art we were looking for a printing company that would support and help us towards achieving our goals. Mike and the team from Giclee Print Limited provide this and much more. They have a genuine concern towards meeting their customers needs. They freely give advice and information from their wealth of experience in the printing and IT industries. As an artist I need assurance that what I envision is going to be transferred onto canvas and not lost in production. I have the utmost faith and confidence that Giclee Print Limited will provide this. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, the picture I would paint of Giclee Print Limited's service would speak a thousand words of praise. Richard Murray - Artist for Imagenation Ltd"

We treasure this testimonial and praise as a gift. Fittingly, this blog entry has been illustrated with an example of Richard's fine work entitled "Te Taonga (The Gift"). Image copyright Imagenation Limited.

Testimonial from Harley Betts Photography

We've done a number of prints for Harley Betts Photography over the past months and we're delighted to say that this has developed into another full-time preferred supplier relationship for us.

Below is an example of just one of the stunning New Zealand images you will find if you browse the galleries on Harley's site. This is followed by a testimonial about our work.

"Your canvas prints are superb! Once I saw how great photos looked as canvas prints, I was hooked -- I now have two canvases for my own walls, and have started offering canvases from Giclée Print Limited to all my clients as an addition to my usual range of landscape prints. Your responsiveness and professionalism are great and I'm really pleased to have you as my preferred supplier of canvas prints." - Harley Betts.

It's a delight to work with such awesome landscape pieces. All Harley's images are shot on medium format film and processed via extremely high resolution scan to produce work of sublime quality. Anything but the best possible quality canvas printing would be a disservice to these images, so we're proud to have been selected to work with Harley in this way.

Harley's images are now available as Fine Art Canvas Prints directly through his website by browsing the many galleries and placing an order!

You can read about them and even see a photograph of one of the first pieces we did for Harley last year here on Harley's Fine Art Prints page (scroll down to the Canvas Prints section).

Needless to say we're pretty stoked to be working with an artist of Harley's calibre.

Hi Mike

It was lovely meeting you last week! Just wanted to let you know that the client came by and picked up his canvasses the next morning, and was very happy with them! He had a huge grin on his face when he saw them.

Testimonial from Carolyn Robertson (no less!)

"My business partner and I are professional photographers who needed some canvas prints made for our clients. We came into contact with Giclée Print Limited and Mike who made the ordering process very simple and user friendly, not to mention the highly competitive pricing. The attention to detail and quality was fantastic. Giclée Print were more than happy to make adjustments where needed so that we got exactly what we were visualising for our clients' needs. Always quick and reliable in response and work carried out, we were able to get the canvas images to our clients promptly. Needless to say our clients were very impressed with their prints. We highly recommend Giclée Print Limited for their quality and service, thanks Mike!"

We're proud to do good work. So is Carolyn, as you can see from her splendid site, below:
