Eric Soller is offering giclee printing services. From Eric:
"I have a 24" Epson Stylus Pro 7900 Printer which produces beautiful Giclee prints using 11 Ultrachrome High Density inks. I can provide printing for League members at really reasonable prices. Giclee printing costs could vary slightly based on the stock chosen to print on. But you can figure something like $4.50-$6.00 per sq. foot of output. My printer can print up to 24" wide by as long as desired. If interested, I can show samples of the quality.
I share the printer with a photographer in Fort Mill, who does an excellent job photographing artwork as well; he also has a calibrated flat bed scanner (11" x 17"), for anyone who needs their original artwork digitized for printing. In addition he's an excellent framer. If anyone is interested in these other services, I can talk to him and get pricing for any member, or they can contact him directly, if they choose.
Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions."
