Ryan, the site seems to be be working its PayPal. I've been trying for three hours now to no avail.

Is anyone else having an issue?

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.

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....

Oh nice. I had actually just asked in another thread whether there were plans to still sell the litho. Will you still sell the litho?

giclee looks better i think, although the litho seems to have somewhat more natural colors.

Is it just me or is the difference in colortemp (if that's the right term) too great for it to only be caused by the difference in paper, inks and method used?

Definitely Giclee for me in this case

Not just you. These aren't the greatest photos, but there is absolutely a difference. That was what I was referring to with the saturation in the litho that I preferred. I think somewhere in the middle would be perfect, but they are what they are.

It's probably related to differences in inks and paper, but the two were also printed by different printers, so I imagine there are quite a bit more variables involved than just those two things....

Ordered one each of "The Island" by Jeffrey Alan Love and "Tomb Raider" by Sam Spratt. Does anyone else find "The Island" amazing? To me it has a pseudo "shadow of the colossus" feel to it, it's incredible!
