About the GPA-We are pleased that you have chosen a guarantee of quality over uncertainty for your digital fine art reproduction needs. The GPA is an organization that was started in 2001 by a group of fine art digital Giclée printers, in an effort to define industry standards and educate consumers. The GPA differentiates the professional printers from the amateurs and hobbyists who are not accountable to any defined standard. GPA certification gives artists and consumers confidence in the value of the product they are purchasing. The TruDécor and TruGiclée trademarks are symbols of quality and consistency. We encourage you to explore this website to find answers to your Giclée printmaking questions.The goal of the GPA is to create a high level of consumer confidence in the value of the product they are buying. In addition to quality production standards, the GPA also promotes standards for ethics and integrity. |
The lack of standardization in the digital printing industry has left consumers and artists with uncertainty, which might cause them to believe this is true.
Many consumers and artists are looking to choose quality over uncertainty. Nate Dickinson, owner of Pearl Publishing states, "GPA membership is an easy way of letting our customers know we are serious about quality."
