Color photos—both hand-colored photos from prior to and including the 1940’s and early color photos of the 50’s and 60’s—have frequently faded during the last half-century. Get The Picture is capable of restoring damage, but also bringing color back to life in these images as well. Our artists are well trained and skilled in duplicating hand-tinted color and photo-realistic color restorations.

Additional retouches may require further payment.

Fine Art & Giclée Printing in RI

Get The Picture offers printing services to our customers in the form of fine art and giclée printing. Our wide-format printer allows us to print high quality prints from your digital scans and photos. This is particularly beneficial to our artist customers, who are looking to have prints made of their original works, but do not wish to invest in a large printer themselves. Our other customers will benefit, as well, as the quality output of our printer will easily outshine the product one can purchase at the local drug store.

Our equipment uses Ultrachrome K3 ink technology to produce archival prints with amazing fidelity, gloss level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors. These inks have been rigorously tested, and it has been determined that items printed with these inks on archival quality papers, and then properly framed, could last up too 100 years! That means that the photo you have printed today has the potential to become a family heirloom several years from now.

We are able to print on fine art and photo papers, and also on canvas, so you have your choice of presentation for your artwork. Canvas prints can be stretched onto stretcher bars, and then framed just like an oil painting. All digitally printed media should always be protected by UV-filtering glazing, to protect it from fading and prolong the art's life. Canvas prints can be sealed with a UV-filtering coating to provide the same protection.
