Services
Digital Art Capture
Using a TTI digital copystand with Fuji GFX 100s camera, we create ultra-high-resolution digital files of original artwork. The process includes color balancing, custom profiling, and delivery of TIFF and JPEG formats. Clients receive an 8x10 proof print for approval, ensuring precise representation of the original piece's details and tonality.
Gicle Printing
We produce museum-quality gicle prints up to 64 inches wide on watercolor paper and canvas media. The process uses archival inks and materials tested for longevity, with optional UV-resistant varnish. Each order includes a certificate of authenticity when created from our digital captures, ensuring professional-grade results for artists and collectors.
Archival Framing
Our framing services protect artwork using Crescent Select mats, UV-filtering glass, and acid-free materials. Designed specifically for gicle prints and canvas reproductions, we offer custom solutions that prevent damage from light, humidity, and atmospheric contaminants while maintaining aesthetic presentation for galleries and exhibitions.
Canvas Stretching
We apply UV-resistant varnish and stretch canvas prints onto wooden frames for display readiness. The service includes edge protection to prevent cracking, with options for gallery-wrapped edges or traditional framing. This ensures professional presentation while maintaining the structural integrity of canvas artworks during shipping and installation.

This is the only place I plan to go for art prints. The prices are fair, especially for such high quality items. The degree of customer service you receive from the moment you walk in the door is second to none. This is by far the best place in Maryland for art and framing needs.

I took some paintings there to be enlarged but had no experience with doing this. Laura was the receptionist who helped me. She was amazingly kind and pleasant and also VERY KNOWLEDGABLE and PROFESSIONAL. She also was extremely patient as I asked a lot of questions - not really knowing what I was doing. The entire experience at Archival Arts was a very pleasant one. I interacted with 3 employees in total and each one was friendly and very helpful. This was a very nice experience. PS They are tech savvy too!
