Fantastic quality Giclée prints

Having exhaustively tested all the paper and ink combinations, we have devised a Giclée print service based upon delivering the best quality Giclée prints at a price you can afford. Metro have conducted exhaustive tests on the wide variety of Giclée papers and ink combinations available and have come up with a selection that we are confident can provide most artists and photographers with their favourite look. We currently use only the very best Hahnemühle papers with Baryta and matt cotton rag paper options but we also have economy papers for affordable everyday use.

All METROPRINT Giclées are produced on our new Epson Stylus Pro 11880 and Epson 9900 printers, making use of UltraChromeHDR archival inks: a ten colour ink set including orange and greens. For colour images these printers produce a wider colour gamut and vivid, long-lasting results. For black and white prints this system uses three levels of black ink density. Highlight and shadow detail is fantastic on these papers with denser blacks up to a DMax of 2.3.
