I have found some places that do giclee canvas printing online, but was wondering if any of you could recommend a local printer. I'd like to switch the way I portray my work and possibly make limited run of shots. So I would like to find a local printer that I could build a relationship with and possibly cut out the shipping costs. Also a good frame shop for stretching the canvas on to strecher bars til I learn how to do it.
Thanks

I have a 7800 that I've been using to print photographs for various local and PNWNP photographers. I don't want to start stocking canvas but it you'd like to buy it, I'd warehouse it and print your photos on it for you. Hood River is an hour from Portland so you coming out here to pick up your prints might not be the worse thing in the world.

BTW giclee is just a marketing term for inkjet printing, it really means nothing.

Your'e right...I just like saying it. That sound like a good idea. I need to find out a bit more about how to spray coat and stretch it.
Thank you. And coming out there would be very cool actually, I'm out there quite a bit so it is not that big of a deal anyway.

I have a 7800 and profile software right here in Vancouver, You could print them yourself. Contact me if interested.
Pearl Publishing (www.pearl-publishing.com) in Portland has several IRIS "Giclee" printers if that is the look you want. Giclee (Zee-Clay)is derived from two French words meaning "spray" and "ink", I prefere the phrase "Pigment Print" as more accurate. Every one these days knows about inkjet, by using the phrase Pigment Print you open the opportunity to explain the difference.
That being of course the improved stability and archiveability (is that a word?) of the work.

Thanks Doyle,
I will definitely check them out. I think once I learn about the process a bit I may be more inclined to work with you, since you are in Vancouver also and which I'm sure would be a lot cheaper than them in the long run.
Thank again.
