Scanning & Giclee Prints

Drum Scanning

Before joining with Gipping Press Ltd in 2014, Swaingrove had specialised in high quality reprographics and reproductions of original artwork. As a result we have vast years of experience in scanning, joining and colour management of reproducing original artworks. When this is combined with the excellent level of equipment then we have a fantastic reputation for quality reproductions; so much so that many print companies within East Anglia send the original artwork to us to be scanned and reproduced!

What this all means is that if you require a very high quality and accurate reproduction of an existing artwork then you need look no further than Gipping Press.

We also have lots of experience of handling fragile and very old original artworks and will treat every original with the utmost respect and caution that they all deserve

Giclee Printing is a specialist print process used for working on fine line and water colour artworks.

Giclée (“g-clay”), from the French verb gicler meaning “to spray”, is a fine art digital printing process combining pigment based inks with high quality quality paper to achieve an inkjet print of superior quality, light fastness and stability. This is the best method of reproduction with faithful colour rendering when compared to the original and this system is regularly used by artists and photographers.

Giclee Printing is primarily used in the reproduction of original drawings and paintings and allows greater control and quality on fine detail.

It is a premium printing process normally only used for reproducing a few copies of original artworks to be framed and sold on.

To compliment the Giclee Printing we also have high quality scanning equipment in-house and staff trained in the re-touching and colour management of scans when reproducing artwork. All of this means that you can entirely trust us to handle you artwork with care and ensure that your prints come back matching the originals provided.

We often have comments that the artists struggle to tell which is the original!

Anything Suffolk Online Gallery

In addition to these services we also run our own online gallery at https://anythingsuffolk.co.uk/ offering limited edition prints, calendars, books and other printed gifts celebrating the beautiful life and landscape of our home county Suffolk.

AnythingSuffolk offers limited edition prints and printed products reflecting the rich variety of life and landscape in our special county, Suffolk, which has long been a popular theme for artists. With our beautiful coastline, sedate estuaries, gentle rolling countryside, pretty towns and villages and tranquil rivers it is no surprise this county remains the inspiration for so many artists, photographers and authors.

We also stock a range of Suffolk books (some of which we print). Please browse and enjoy our Suffolk Books section for more details and if you would like us to consider selling your book on this site please email anythingsuffolk@gippingpress.co.uk

To complete the set we stock a range of local themed printed cards, calendars and gifts. Our Suffolk 2023 Calendars range is currently available on our Calendars page.

All our fine art prints are uniquely numbered and contain our embossed AnythingSuffolk logo at the base.
