"Also Sprach Zarathustra, Opus 31 by Richard Strauss.  Interpretive painting inspired by the music.  Artwork of Dan Junot.  Posted on www.prints-and-notecards.com: official website of Color Simulation Service, your home for fine art reproduction prints and original art note cards.

SET-UPS:

     The process begins when you send us your art. Our computer artists must first photograph or scan your original art, your slide, your transparency, your photo, or your print, and turn it into a digital (electronic computer) file which we can send to various printers to produce your original art note cards or fine art reproduction Giclée prints.  This process is called "setting up" your art -- or a "Set-Up." 
     Even if you submit a digital file to us, EVERYONE must pay set-up fees (see "Just Hit Print" exception in the 3rd paragraph down).  Part of the setup process involves matching what we see on our computer screens when we look at your digital file with what the printers output.  If you've ever attempted to do this yourself, you know that it is an involved process that goes beyond "just hitting print."  Color matching (tweaking) can be tedious and time intensive. 
     Setup fees are only incurred one time and are applicable on each separate image submittedAlso, there is a separate set-up fee for note cards and a separate set-up fee for prints (even when the same image is involved).  This is because the note cards are produced using one type of printer and the prints are produced using another type of printer...so...two distinctly different processes. If you are unsure about how setup fees pertain to you, please contact us for clarification before sending us your art.
     For note cards, set-up fees are the same regardless of the size of the note card that you intend to order.  For prints also, set-up fees are the same regardless of the size of the print that you intend to order.  Setup fees are not based upon the media chosen for the prints or on the size of your original painting.  Set-up fees for both note cards and prints are less if you choose not to receive a proof. 

 


    “JUST HIT PRINT” … Being aware that more of you are becoming computer & camera savvy, we are now instituting a “JUST HIT PRINT” option for prints.  If you submit a digital file to us that is “PRINT READY,” you do not have to pay any setup fees at all!*  (This does not apply to note cards). 

What do we mean by “PRINT READY?”

  1. The digital file has been cropped so that everything that is visible is what you want to print (no frames or other objects present).
  2. The digital image is sized to the size or sizes that you want the final print to be.
  3. The look of the digital image (color/shadows/highlights/sharpness, etc…) all meet your approval.

In this way, you have control & responsibility over the final print.

* If you need for us to make adjustments on any of the 3 items listed above…OR…if you want a proof, the standard setup fees will apply.

So, get those cameras out & fire up your graphic software…You can E-Mail the images to us or burn them onto a disc & mail them to us.

PROOFS:

     To create a proof, the technician must compare the colors in your "original," with the printouts--making adjustments to correct the colors until an approximate "match" (reasonable simulation) is achieved.  This is called "tweaking."  This "match" is called a "proof," which can then be sent to you for approval. 
     For prints:  Because of the great pains we take with producing a successful simulation of your artwork, the good news is that 99% of the time, artists are quite happy with the proof. Many repeat customers save money on proofing fees for each image by waiving the proofs altogether.  You can elect not to receive proofs allowing our techno/artists to choose the best match for you.  If you choose not to receive a proof, any text involved in your printing job can be E-Mailed to you for approval.  Because each computer screen shows color differently, we do not E-Mail image proofs for color approval.

     Once these set-ups and proofs are accomplished, we can then print your original art note cards (in four different sizes) or make your fine art reproduction Giclée prints, ranging in sizes from 8x10 to 24x36 -- on watercolor paper, ultra-smooth fine art paper, or canvas.
