Eye Digital offer two levels of output, for pre-press and
for the fine art and exhibition market.
Pre-press Proofs
It is always good policy to provide your client or printing
house with a proof alongside your digital files in order
to help maintain colour accuracy. When working on an image
we are using an RGB colour space(a monitors colour space).
In terms of printers though, only Digital C-Type (Lightjet)
printers, print using RGB (lasers).
All printers for publications such as magazines, books and
billboards use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black). With
CMYK there are different industry standards depending on a
number of factors: country, paper stock (coated or uncoated)
and particular printer used. Each different CMYK space has
a different colour gamut (range of reproducible colours) which
means that in order to know whether your RGB file is reproducible
in the magazine/book it is intended for, you must have a CMYK
conversion done. This will reveal whether any of the colours
in your RGB file are outside the particular CMYK gamut. It
is also a way of controlling black levels, necessary for CMYK
output. In order to show the print-house exactly what colour
you seek to achieve it is then advisable to have a proof made
from this conversion.

Giclee (inkjet) Prints
Giclee simply means to squirt in French. However, it has become
a term used to denote a high end inkjet print onto archival
paper using pigmented archival inks. We have done a lot of
research into papers for giclee printing and have decided on
the Epson Lustre paper (very much like a photographic paper)
and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag (a textured fine art paper).
