Description

ASAP Reprographics has been servicing Artist and Graphic Designers for over 40 years. Our Watercolor Prints are professional Giclee grade, done with archival pigment inks on acid free 310 GSM Watercolor Cold Press Papers. Prints are done with precise custom color correction and image editing on our 9 color HP Designjet Z9, that prints to 64" wide format using environmentally-friendly aqueous inks. This is state of the art inkjet printer reproducing the Chromatic Reds, Yellows, Oranges as well as Ultramarine and Cobalt Blue and deep Greens, that are beyond the limits of printers without these 9 dedicated colors of ink. We also offer expert scanning on our 50" Contex 4 camera scanner, rendering gradations and many colors that would be out of range with other technologies. Our rolled Watercolor Printing comes in full color on one side, and is available in any size up to a 42" height and 50 ft maximum length.

Note:
Because of the wide potential size range of our large format products, there are additional file setup considerations. Proofs are typically shown half size. For other details, please review the file setup section carefully.

Recommendations

Our Giclee museum grade watercolor prints make excellent limited edition reprints of your original art. Rich, saturated colors; deep dark tones and finely nuanced light tones; and the look and feel of an actual watercolor or pastel painting. The possibilities of our fine art paper giclees are endless for watercolor and pastel artists and photographers alike.

We recommend adding a 1" to 2" unprinted white border to your original artwork for matting and framing prints.

Marketing Tips

Watercolor giclee prints are an excellent choice in reproducing your original artwork. Make a limited edition numbered run of your original watercolor or pastel.

Custom Sizes

Our watercolor prints are available in custom sizes ranging from 12" x 12" up to 36" x 50'.

File Preparation

In order to ensure your files are print-ready, we recommend that you upload them in PDF format. When you generate a print-ready PDF, your computer will use the settings in Adobe Acrobat Distiller or any other PDF generating programs you may use. Please make sure that these are set properly before generating your PDF file.

We also accept .JPG (JPEG), .EPS and .TIF (TIFF) file types, however PDF is the preferred format.

Check your file to make sure it meets our file creation guidelines. This will help speed up the production of your project and give your printed piece the best results.

  1. Use the CMYK colorspace (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK). These are industry standard printing colors. CMYK colors are different than RGB (Red, Green, Blue), which are used to display colors on your screen.
  2. Use a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for image files.
  3. All fonts need to be outlined or embedded.
  4. Specify trim area with crop marks. (Don't place crop marks inside the work area.)
  5. Artwork should have 1/8" (0.125") bleed extending past the trim line. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
  6. Safe Area is the 1/8" (0.125") area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
  7. If you want printed borders, they must be placed a minimum of 1/8" (0.125") inside the trim line and include bleed. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.

File Orientation

Please click the link below for an explanation of file orientation.

Bleed and Safe Area

We require that you extend any images that run up to the trim line a minimum of 1/8" (0.125") past the trim line to create "bleed". Depending on what program you use to create your file, this may or may not change the total image area of your file. Programs like Photoshop that do not allow the creation of "bleed" or the addition of crop marks will require an image area that is 1/4" (0.25") larger than your desired final overall image area in both dimensions.

Safe Area is the 1/8" (0.125") area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge. If you choose to make less than this minimum clearance, we will NOT be responsible for items that are cut off in this area.

Proofs and File Check

  1. Online PDF Proof: You will be sent a link to view your proof via email. Please keep in mind that this is only a proof for content and positioning; the color on your screen may vary from the color of your final product, depending on your monitor and viewing conditions.
  2. Hard Copy Proof: The Hard Copy Proof can either be picked up on-site or shipped to you. Please keep in mind that this is a proof for content and positioning and is not printed on your actual job stock. Color may vary slightly when printed on the stock you ordered. When ordering a Hard Copy Proof, you will receive a complimentary Online PDF Proof, as well.
  3. No Proof, Run As-Is: This option is for the industry professional who is certain their project is ready to hit the press and does not require the additional security of a proof.

File Check:

If our prepress department sees anything questionable with your file, we will contact you via email with our concerns. Should prepress email you, please note that your job is not considered fully submitted until you respond to this email. This should be factored into your turnaround time.

Please Note: The charge for our technical team to review your file when first submitted is included in the price of your order. If they note technical concerns with your file, they may email you with their concerns so you can upload a corrected file. If subsequent uploads still contain errors, you may be charged an additional prepress fee to review your file again.

Some weeks I'm in this shop 2 or 3 times to pick up print orders. Everyone is super helpful and patient with quick turn-arounds. I'm an artist, printing illustrations I sell and I really appreciate that the team is regularly offering ideas and suggestions on printing techniques so that I can offer a higher quality product to my buyers.
