Made Print

How do I get a print made of my painting?
I am an artist who enjoys painting. How or where would I go to get a quality print of my own painting?
Giclee (pronounced "g clay") printing can create very high-quality prints of your paintings. It takes a specialized printing machine (not an Iris or other digital printing machine). Your artwork can be scanned or photographed, then printed in the Giclee process.
Here are a few explanation of the printing and the process:

Here are some ways to find Giclee printers:
1) Look in your local phone book under "printers" then look at the ads (or call around) to find a place that does Giclee or "fine art" printing (but be sure it IS Giclee). Ask them how to proceed from where you are right now with the paintings.
2) Do a search in Google for [your town] + giclee - doing this for my city gets dozens of results but I live in a very big city.
2) Call local art framing places and ask them who does Giclee printing in your area.
3) Ask established artists if they know who does this in your area
What I wouldn't do is order this service over the web - you want to be able to "proof" the work against the original and work closely with the printer to get exactly what you want. Plus, there would be no way for you to verify that the printer a long distance from you actually used a Giclee process. They may charge you more for this service and then give you inferior quality. If you work with someone local they know they will have you to deal with personally.
