Welcome to our Gold Medal Fine Art Printing Service

Microfilm Digital Print is one of the pioneers of the use of inkjet technology for Fine Art Reproduction in New Zealand. From the outset the highest quality equipment and materials have been used to produce outstanding results.

The Method. Original artwork is scanned on high-resolution wide format scanners and printed in very fine detailed colour on canvas, watercolour, cotton based and specialty papers.

Print life. Long life pigment based inks with more than 100 years long life rating from an independent laboratory are used on all prints.

Quality. In the firm's Gicleé department advanced equipment and experience are combined to provide the best possible results with an established reputation for service and the highest quality.

Guarantee. We offer an unconditional money back guarantee.

Giclée. The word Giclée is used by us, and companies like ours around the world, to describe the pigment based inkjet printing system that we use.

Who to Contact. Ask for Megan or Nelson and talk to us about copying and reproducing family heriloom art, photographs, personal paintings or professional works. See "Contact us" above.

Examples of Our Work

juggler

"The Juggler" by Mehrdad Tahan, Gold Medal 2007

This canvas measures 594mm x 840mm and hangs in our showroom where it gets admiration from our customers for its detail and lifelike image. The Juggler is printed from a photograph taken of the original art work by local photographer Garry Senior.

Four Stretched Canvas Frames

These individual smaller canvases are typical of what we produce for many customers. The photography in them looks stunning when printed onto canvas and stretched by our craftsman framer. The protective coating used is unique in New Zealand and although it is almost invisible it allows peace of mind and easy care for the life of the print.

We believe the quality of the framing is the best in the marketplace.

piano

"The Pianoman" by Rhonda Campbell Gold 2003

Our first entry in this competition Pianoman was scanned at 800dpi and printed full size onto fine art watercolour paper. Rhonda's vibrant colours are transferred to the archival paper and will stay bright for 100 years or more.

ImageJohn

"Portrait of John" by Mehrdad Tahan. Highly commended 2006.

This is a charcoal drawing using using only the artist's fingers and charcoal that he made himself. Mehrdad insisted on rich blacks and fine detail, both of which were achieved in the print.

Wedding Photos

Wedding photography on canvas creates an artwork from your special day. Shown here in a white wooden shadow frame to set it off, also available in black, and sealed and stretched by our craftsman framer your memory will last a lifetime.

'Owl Eyes"

"Owl Eyes" by Kate Smith won a gold medal in 2007 and shows the detail that is possible to reproduce using our Gilclée process. Scanned in house and printed onto German Etching watercolour paper with our K3 pigment inks, our artist Kate is very pleased with the results.

BertSqu

"Bert's Backyard" the gold medal winning print from 2004.

This image has been cropped to fit our page. Its shows part of a print from an original by Lawrence Leitch and illustrates the fine detail and vibrant colours that capture the character of a rural New Zealand of the past. Lawrence is an internationally acclaimed artist who sells his originals and prints throughout the world.
