Official limited Tomb Raider screenprints and giclees now live!

[MortalMonday]

Giclees stomp all over any litho (in terms of overall print quality) that I've ever owned.

Gicless produce better color contrast, deeper blacks, lusher colors, and slightly higher detail over lithographs. All giclees that I've seen are printed on archival cotton paper as well; which trounce the standard stock litho paper.

Screenprints, as Ryan has said, are awesome too; but they're an entirely different monster. I have several and they definitely have their own appeal.

We're selling the giclee in the store, but as was talked about elsewhere, the original plan was to have them be exclusive to the art shows and do a litho on the store a little later. This means we have one of each, printed off the same art....




Jed (our CEO) liked the giclee better. Chris (our head artist) liked the litho better. I was kind of torn.




The litho has better saturation, I think, but the blacks are darker/better on the giclee.




The overall fidelity of the giclee strikes me as being a bit finer.







The litho is full-bleed and has a glossier finish to the paper (and is signed), but the giclee is undeniably nice. You guys were clamoring for the giclee, so I'm guessing we made the right choice, ultimately, but I'm not totally sure....
