About us      

Spanking new giclée technology + traditional excellence = Salt of the Earth

When we started years ago, trading as Heritage Hall and working mainly with historic images, the word “giclée” was almost unknown in the U.K. We spent lots of time explaining to potential clients, “It’s pronounced ‘zhee-clay’ and denotes a very accurate, long-lasting digital fine art printmaking process controlled by a crystal frequency that applies millions of pigment ink particles in a microscopic spray to specially coated papers.”

At that point, their eyes glazed over. Well they would, wouldn’t they? This experience taught us a lesson, which is: technology matters, but people care much more about other things. Like having a trustworthy, friendly team who are prepared to tweak and improve until every little detail is just perfect before printing. So that’s exactly what we do, providing our specialist giclée service to artists and photographers throughout Britain and Europe.

Rest assured, we’ll go on upgrading our scanners and printers. But more importantly, we’ll cherish your work. Interleave your prints with handmade mulberry paper. Turn each order around within days. And – oh, yes. If you visit our woodland studio, we’ll even offer you scrummy chocolate biscuits with your coffee. Now, how many other giclée printers would do that?
