Giclee turn around time
As we approach the holidays, the normal amount of orders we receive increases considerably. While we normally can print and ship giclees in about 5 working days if supplied with digital files, times can be longer in November and December. If we need to scan original art, the usual turnover is 10 working days. Again, we are also expecting longer periods. The best way to check is to contact us to find out the current waiting times.
Because of our stringent quality controls and color fidelity requirements, our shop does not simply put files through a printer and ship out. There are services that do so and can print and ship in a day or two. We pride ourselves of offering the best possible giclee that can be made. As with all things in life, fine quality work is not instant. This, said, we have holes in our normal printing schedule when it is possible we can send out in a matter of a couple of days.
Besides the preparation and actual printing, we do not package and ship any giclee before the pigments have stabilized by outgassing and curing. Canvas takes an extra day because of coating.
