Our new name and vision will ensure our clients long-term success through continued marketing and promotions. Our goal is to prepare our clients to sell their own work. The purpose of our new Artists Promotional Package is to empower self-sufficiency through an ongoing relationship. Our three primary objectives are:

PREPARE
To capture every detail in each original using an expert knowledge gained through years of experience working with Adobe Photoshop.

PRINT
To reproduce every image true to the artist's vision using the highest quality technology and materials available.

PUBLISH
To help find the right market for every image by connecting the artists directly to the art representatives, galleries and publishers.

Our new logo has become an integral part of our production, through our Certificate of Authenticity, as well as it will identify to us and your collectors that your print was indeed a Fidelis original.

When we enlisted the help of Didax Design Group Inc. to create our new brand, we were extremely excited about what they came up with. According to lead designer, Chris Au,

Fidelis was a name that conveyed the consummate quality of the people, product sand services of the small family-run company. In addition Fidelis was memorable, distinctive, and recognizable in different languages.

The lower case f provided an elegant visual point of departure on a journey calling upon notions of perception, fidelity, and support; attributes that resonate strongly with those we want to reach.

Moreover, the phrase “True to the Artist’s Vision” sums up the message by which Fidelis Printmaking is to be known.

Thanks Chris, for seeing our vision and bringing it to life.

FIDELIS Printmaking is a team of experienced artisans and technicians who understand that great fine art reproduction requires more than mechanical skills. We are highly dedicated to maintaining image integrity, utilizing the best quality materials and technology available.

Historically:   In 1992, the digital imaging division of Gamma Pro Imaging was formed. An industry leader in the commercial photographic lab community, Gamma was well known for their commitment to staying on the leading edge of technology a building long term business relationships with artists, photographers, museums, motion picture firms, and corporations. In 2003, the imaging division became Gamma Editions and focused it's business on fine art printmaking.

In 2004, the traditional lab of Gamma was sold and the staff of the Gamma Editions assumed the fine art printing side of the business and named it Vancouver Imageworks. In a successful effort to educate artist about the new printmaking technology, Imageworks expanded it's services to include digital printmaking seminars and workshops.

In 2006, Imageworks was rebranded to Fidelis Art Prints, offering printmaking services under the name FIDELIS Printmaking. With the new brand came the FidelityArt™ print, a commitment to image quality and permanence, and our “10-Year Limited Warranty”.

We use the finest quality materials when producing our prints. FidelityArt™   prints are made using premium art papers and natural canvas that are pH neutral, acid-free, and 100% cotton. Masterfully combined with pigment-based inks, FidelityArt™   reproductions offer true colour fidelity and exceptional image permanence. FIDELIS is the only BC firm who complies to the criteria of a “True Giclée” as outlined by the Giclée Printers Association.

As a member of the BC Museums Association, we take image permanence seriously by keeping informed of image permanence studies from The Rochester Institute of Technology and Wilhelm Imaging Research. We are confident that our clients are receiving a print that is as technically responsible as it is beautiful.

All FidelityArt™ prints undergo a stringent color and quality check by the artist or publisher before an edition is completed.   Artists are encouraged to work with our Adobe Certified Photoshop Experts to extract image detail, depth, and unique qualities from each scan. Our experts have over 14 years of experience and are considered the best in their field. As the creative director, client participation insures the finest results.

Every FidelityArt print is accompanied by a “Certificate of Authenticity”. This document provides your end customer with the confidence that the finest archival materials were used during the printmaking process. Should any manufacturers defect occur, Fidelis will replace the print at no cost.

The digital nature of our printmaking process affords an unprecedented amount of image control. At the artist's explicit request and under their precise direction, FIDELIS Printmaking can modify and image in almost anyway. The degree of manipulation can range from subtle shading to radical reconstructing of the entire image, with the finished product showing no evidence of having been manipulated. The fee for such work is dependent on the complexity of the manipulation and on the completion time. We will discuss the nature of the adjustment with the artist in advance, and provide an estimate for how long it will take.
