Who this service is for
We work with anyone who wants professional-quality art prints at an accessible price, without going all the way to a specialist museum lab. Think of us if you are an emerging artist, a photographer printing for a portfolio or an exhibition, an illustrator, an interior decorator — or a visitor to Rome who wants a beautiful print to take home.
Artists
Reproductions of your originals for gallery sales, events, art fairs, markets, portfolios. Faithful printing on hammered Modigliani paper that gives your work painterly depth and texture.
Photographers
Portfolio prints, material for exhibitions, prints to sell to clients after a shoot. Glossy, satin or matte photographic papers depending on the style of your work.
Illustrators
Prints of illustrations for portfolios, comic fairs, direct sales, commissioned gifts. Crisp lines and saturated colours render beautifully on premium papers.
Decorators and galleries
Decorative reproductions for interior design, hotels, restaurants, offices. Exhibition material for local galleries and ateliers that host regular shows.
The papers we use
Two families of premium papers, chosen to cover the most common needs of artists and photographers. Not sure which to pick? Drop by the shop — paper samples are much easier to judge in your hands. For how glossy, matte and cotton papers differ in blacks, reflections and longevity, see our photo paper guide.
🎨 Modigliani Fedrigoni 200g
Premium Italian paper with a hammered texture and natural white tone. Perfect for reproductions of paintings, watercolours and illustrations where you want painterly depth.
🖼️ Modigliani Fedrigoni 260g
Same hammered texture, heavier weight for more important prints, exhibitions, sales. The feel in the hand immediately says "finished work".
✨ Glossy photographic paper
Brilliant colours, deep blacks, high contrast. Ideal for photographs with vivid colours, landscapes, urban subjects, commercial photography.
📷 Satin photographic paper
A balance of brilliance and softness. No harsh reflections, excellent rendering of skin tones and detail. The most requested by photographers.
🌫️ Matte photographic paper
Soft tones, no glare, perfect for portrait photography, black and white, delicate subjects. A more "fine art" look while staying on a photographic base.
🔍 Come see the samples
We keep physical samples of every paper in the shop. Choosing is far easier in person than from a description. Ten minutes and the file you want to print are all you need.
How it works, step by step
Send your file
High-resolution TIFF or JPEG (minimum 240 dpi at final size, ideally 300 dpi). sRGB or Adobe RGB profile. Email it to stampa@guug.it.
Free file check
We check resolution, colour profile and any artefacts. If something needs fixing, we tell you in plain English before printing.
A4 test print
For important projects we recommend an A4 proof (€10-15) on your chosen paper. Credited towards the final job if you confirm within 7 days.
Print and pickup
Canon TX-4000 plotter with 5 water-based inks, maximum width 107 cm. Pick up in store in a rigid tube, or insured courier shipping.
Honest about the limits of our service
Let's be clear: traditional giclée printing (12 pigment inks on certified cotton paper, 100-200 year museum archival rating) is a specialist service offered by labs dedicated exclusively to museum-grade fine art. At GUUG we offer something different: professional-quality art printing on a Canon TX-4000 plotter with 5 water-based Lucia inks, on premium — but not cotton — papers.
What does that mean for you? Our prints are perfect for gallery sales, exhibitions, art markets, photographic portfolios, interior decoration, commissioned gifts, illustration reproductions — and as art prints to take home from Rome. Excellent colour rendering, premium papers, at a far more accessible price than a specialist lab.
When we are NOT the right choice: if you sell certified museum editions rated "200-year archival" with official numbering, or if your prints go into major international gallery collections, a specialist lab is the better option. Tell us about your project anyway: we will say honestly whether we are the right fit or another supplier would serve you better.
