PRINTING Services
All photographic and fine art giclée prints at Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art are output using a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 printer with LUCIA Pro archival pigmented inks.
Learn more about the giclée printing process at Wikipedia.
Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art uses a closed-loop color management environment where we create and manage our own paper profiles and monitor calibration profiles. This is the preferred method for producing high quality professional prints. If you would like to use any of our paper profiles for soft proofing please contact us. Please note that soft proofing on-screen works best with a properly calibrated monitor.
If you are preparing your own digital files for printing, we recommend the file specifications below. If your digital files do not meet the requirements below, file editing charges may apply (resizing, cropping, etc.).
File Type: TIFF (flattened, NO layers) or JPEG (100% quality setting)
RGB Color Space: Adobe RGB 1998 (preferred) or sRGB. Files should have the appropriate color profile embedded in the file, choose the option to “embed color profile” when saving your files. We cannot print CMYK files.
Color Bit Depth: 8 bit or 16 bit
Resolution: 300 ppi
Dimensions: Files should be sized in inches @ 300 ppi to the print size desired (i.e. 18 in. x 24 in. @ 300 ppi). If you need a white border around your image we can ad the border for you.

We can accept files on CD, USB flash drive or Compact Flash card. If you would like to bring in your files, please call ahead or email to schedule an appointment. You may also email files. If your files are too large to email, we recommend you use a file-sharing service such as Dropbox or Google Drive and then email us the shared “public links" so we can download your files. We do not have FTP file upload capability.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer framing, matting or mounting services. We also do not print greeting cards, note cards, flyers or office documents. For canvas printing, we can only stretch the canvas prints onto the stretcher bars we offer.
FINE ART PAPERS & CANVAS
Our fine art prints are priced by the square foot and rounded up to the nearest tenth. If borders are needed around the image, include the borders in the final paper size calculation. We have no minimum quantity order requirements.
Print price example: 16 x 22 inch image area with 1 inch borders would have a final print size of 18 x 24 inches. The square footage for an 18 x 24 inch print is 3.0 square feet.
18 x 24 ÷ 144 = 3.0 square feet. A print at this size on Aurora Natural paper would be $36.00.
