Services
Giclee Printing
Our giclee printing service utilizes the Epson SureColor P9000 printer with UltraChrome HDX 10-color inks to produce museum-quality fine art prints. We print on acid-free cotton rag papers and premium canvases with precise color matching using Xrite EyeOne calibration. Each print undergoes rigorous quality checks for DMax, color gamut, and archival longevity, ensuring 70+ year fade resistance when displayed properly.
Custom Scanning
We offer high-resolution scanning services for transparencies, negatives, and physical artwork up to 48x96 inches. Our Epson V600 scanner captures 6400x9600 dpi resolution with manual adjustments for exposure, contrast, and color balance. Professional image processing includes dust removal, color correction, and file optimization for print reproduction, ensuring digital accuracy matches the original artwork's tonal qualities.
Photo-Retouching
Our photo-retouching service includes color correction, exposure adjustment, and digital restoration for damaged photographs. The team uses advanced Photoshop techniques to remove blemishes, reconstruct missing elements, and optimize image composition. We maintain original artistic intent while enhancing technical quality, providing before-and-after previews for client approval before final print production.
Canvas Stretching
We provide professional canvas stretching using custom-built wooden stretchers for gallery-ready presentation. Options include wrap-around edges, color borders, and floating frames. Our on-site stretching ensures proper tensioning to prevent sagging, with UV protective coating application available for unstretched canvases. We recommend 48-hour drying time before stretching to maintain ink stability.
Matboard Cutting
Our custom matboard cutting service uses Peterboro archival-quality materials for acid-free presentation. We offer beveled cuts in single, double, or multi-opening configurations with precision alignment to artwork dimensions. Matboards enhance visual focus while protecting prints from glass contact, available in 100+ color options to complement any artistic style.

The prints look phenomenal. I have minimal experience in printing and did a few enlargements over the years with different shops and mixed results. Everytime I've sent something through Ernesto I *love* the result. The shop responds quickly, provided fast turnaround, and each order hangs exactly how I want to see it in print.
