In a city as artistically vibrant as Toronto, finding the right fine art, “Giclée” print studio is crucial for artists who want to see their work reproduced with museum-quality precision. Whether you’re a painter, illustrator, photographer or digital artist, having a trusted local print partner can make all the difference.
At Colour Systems Inc., we understand the artistic vision and technical needs of creative artists. We offer archival quality, “Giclée” prints, personalized service, and fast turnaround times—all from our Toronto-based studio. Here’s why Toronto artists continue to choose us for their fine art printing needs.
1. Local Expertise, Global Standards
As a Toronto-based fine art printing studio, we bring together over 35 years of experience and state-of-the-art scanning and printing technology to ensure your work is reproduced with the highest level of detail and colour accuracy.
Our giclée printing techniques use industry-leading OEM pigment inks (HDR, HDX, HDR Pro-12) to deliver exceptional results on the finest archival, fine art, cotton papers from Hahnemühle, Arches, Fabriano, Canson, MOAB, Ilford, Awagami, etc. This guarantees stunning colour reproduction, very deep blacks, exceptional detail and smooth gradients—all essential for preserving the integrity of your artwork.
“Paul is one of the most experienced and skilled printers you could work with. His standard of quality and service while assisting me in documenting and reproducing a very large scale, slightly challenging piece, was unbelievable- truly greater than I could have hoped for! He also offers an impressive selection of papers and knows their properties, pros and cons in depth, so you can be sure you’ll make the appropriate decision when reproducing your work. My client was blown away with the print I had made with Paul and I most certainly will continue working with him for future reproductions!” – Natasha B.
2. Personalized Service & One-on-One Consultations
Unlike online printing services, where you have little control over the process, we offer in-person and virtual consultations to help artists experience and select the best paper or canvas for their work.
We offer one-on-one consultations by appointment at our Toronto studio, where you can explore our over 30 top of the line, fine art paper options, discuss your project in detail, and review printed proofs before final printing. If an in-person visit isn’t possible, we’re happy to provide expert guidance via Zoom, email, or phone, ensuring you receive the best level of personalized service, no matter where you are.
This hands-on approach ensures that each artist gets a truly customized experience, resulting in perfectly matched, gallery-quality scans and prints.
3. Museum-Grade Materials for Superior Prints
Artists who invest their time and talent into creating stunning original artworks deserve prints that maintain their integrity for decades. We exclusively use:
- 12-colour pigment ink technology for unparalleled colour gamut and longevity
- Archival-grade, cotton, fine art papers & canvas for superior longevity
- High-resolution, touchless, fine art scanning in 48 bit true RGB data to capture every brushstroke and detail
Our prints meet museum and gallery standards, making them ideal for limited edition reproductions, exhibitions, and collectors.
4. High-Resolution Fine Art Scanning & Perfect Colour Matching
One of the biggest challenges for artists is ensuring that prints accurately reflect their original work. This is where our specialized fine art scanning services shine.
Using German-engineered contactless scanning systems, we digitally capture every fine detail, subtle gradient, and texture—whether it’s from acrylics, oils, pastels, or watercolours.
Once digitized, our colour proofing process ensures that your final print is an exact match to your original piece.
For digital artists, we ensure your Procreate, Photoshop, or Illustrator files are reproduced with crisp resolution, deep contrast, and the exact colour tones you intended.
5. Fast Turnaround & Local Convenience
Working with a Toronto-based printing studio means you can avoid long shipping delays and get your prints faster. Whether you need a single print, a full exhibition series, or limited edition reproductions, we ensure timely delivery without ever compromising on quality.
Our local accessibility means you can:
- Pick up your prints in person at our Toronto studio
- Get fast consultations and proofing sessions
- Receive expert guidance every step of the way
For artists with tight deadlines for exhibitions, gallery shows, or client commissions, this level of efficiency and flexibility is invaluable.
6. Trusted by Toronto’s Art Community
Over the years, we’ve earned the trust of Toronto’s artistic community, working with painters, illustrators, digital artists and photographers who return to us time and again for their fine art scanning and printing needs.
Whether you’re work is for a gallery show, an online shop or personal collection, our commitment to quality, accuracy and artist satisfaction makes us the top choice for fine art giclée printing in Toronto.
“Highly recommend!! Paul, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. As a first-time customer getting my art prints scanned and printed, I was very impressed how easily Paul explained the entire process. The quality of the scans and prints turned out so amazing and I’m glad I chose Colour Systems - they truly exceeded all of my expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to have their artwork professionally scanned and printed.
