Services

Moby Arts Publishing House is located in the heart of Los Angeles. Moby Arts encourages our artists to participate in the crafting process and oversight of their silkscreen or giclée prints. The Moby Arts staff has helped publish the works of many artists. As such we dedicate additional work space to an artist so that they can create hand embellished prints which are unique in nature. Each Piece is embossed with the Moby Arts chop. 

Moby Arts provides professional art institution, for art galleries, homes and offices. As well as production assistance for various events, an illustration department for media development alongside with the printing.

DIGITAL FILE SPECS & HOW TO SEND YOUR WORK

The most important element of giclée printing is the digital file. Without quality input, no printer can produce quality output; garbage in, garbage out. Make sure your digital file is prepared properly and contains no unwanted artifacts before sending it to us.

Note: We happily offer digital support services to those in need.

 

  •          TIFF

FILE SIZES

Simply enlarging an image file with a graphics program, such as Photoshop, does nothing to enhance output quality. If your image has very fine detail and is to be printed on canvas or rag paper, creating it between 200 & 350 dpi will be more than sufficient to maintain the sharpness. The file should be initially created with the final output size as the determining factor for the file size.

HOW TO SEND US YOUR WORK

  •          Dropbox: You can share your files with us through Dropbox.
  •          CD, DVD, Flashdrives: If you are local, you may directly drop off files to our studio in Los Angeles, CA

STUDIO SPACE

Moby Arts  encourages our artists to participate in the crafting process and oversight of their silkscreen prints. As such we can dedicate additional workspace to an artist so that they can create hand embellished prints which are unique in nature to accompany your fine art serigraphs.

 

SIGNING SESSIONS 

When your silkscreen prints are complete they are limited in number as indicated in pencil below the image. The notation 1/100 means that this particular print is the first of 100 in the edition. By signing and numbering it, the artist is guaranteeing that there will never be more than 100 original serigraph prints of this design. Edition sizes are noted with each image on these pages.

 

 

 

FULL SERVICE SERIGRAPH PRINTING

Custom silkscreens for color enhancement, textures, varnishes, glitters and metallics. UV enhancement available.

Serigraph (Silkscreen) is a term describing the silkscreen process when used for fine art rather than commercial purposes. Unlike many of the commercial serigraph studios out there, we encourage our artists to use our master printer in collaboration to take advantage of his wealth of experience.

Produced on archival quality 100% cotton rag, neutral pH paper serigraphs are produced from a single image to make an edition. To make an edition cost effective we suggest editions at ranging in no less than 25  sheets a each run.
