All of our printing paper, for giclée or LightJet printing, comes on large rolls. We can accomodate the traditional photographic paper sizes-8x10, 16x20, etc., and have indicated LightJet prices for some of those sizes. Giclée printing has historically used sheet paper that was typically 34x44 inches in size, which divides down all the way to standard tabloid (11”x17”) and letter-sized (8.5”x11”) paper as even fractions of the full sheet size. Therefore, we have included page sizes and prices accordingly. But, since we print on 44” wide rolls, we can actually print any size from up to 44”x327”! LightJet prints on Fuji Crystal Archive can be up to a maximum image size of 49”x119”.
We can easily print odd sizes and will adjust the price accordingly. Since both LightJet and giclée prints cost less per square foot as size increases, we can’t offer a simple formula to calculate odd print size prices but we’ll be happy to quote you the price if you call or email.
Remember, too, that prices for an indicated size assume any desired borders you might wish to have are included in that size.
Why don’t we have order forms? We used to, but because of the flexible sizes and the intricasies of borders, paper types, cropping vs. full frame, etc., we decided it was just easier to have clients call or email us with printing directions. Also, we like person-to-person interaction with clients. We’re a hands-on kind of place, not an assembly line cranking out prints and we’re happy to talk with you about any questions you might have on these new and exciting processes.
Shipping prices vary on print size but are generally between $9 and $20 for UPS 3 Day Select (inside California, orders are shipped UPS Ground.) We can also ship via Fed Ex and 2nd Day or Next Day shipping is available, too.
