Oxford Giclee & Photographic Centre accepts no responsibility for copyright, it is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that no copyright infringement occurs. If you do not own the copyright then we will not print the file.
The proofing process is necessary to the (digital) artist and printer because of the degree of difference between viewing conditions (monitors etc.) and output methods. The proof can also be archived for future reference to ensure consistency throughout printing and reprinting irrespective of the time between the original prints.
These are the two forms of proofing available with the printing service.
In House:
Only select this proofing if you are confident of how your file will look when printed on the chosen media as a proof will not be sent for approval. This method is not subject to any charge. We do not apply any editing to the supplied file, we print it as is. This option represents a quicker turnaround time from receipt of image file.
Set up & Standard Proofing:
After initial assessment by ourselves, a proof is made (Approx- A4). This printed proof is then sent to the artist before any further colour correction takes place. The printed proof is then signed and returned to us. The proof should be returned along with notes on any further adjustments deemed necessary by the artist. Further adjustments are then carried out. A new proof is sent to the artist for approval. The job will be printed when a proof has been approved by the artist. This is the advised method as the artist will be able to see exactly how their image will look when printed.
Please specify which proofing method is required.
We do not accept match prints to work from because of the issues/variables within colour management in a digital workflow .
The lighting set up we use for proofing complies with and exceeds the ISO 3664:2000 ensuring proofing takes place within a properly lit area of the correct colour spectrum. To ensure colour consistency, our colour managed workflow is set to the same specifications of colour temperature.
If you wish to submit files for printing please read all of the articles from the drop down menu at the top of this page. These articles will save both time and money.
