Gicleé paper comes in 24” wide rolls. There is no minimum print size, and the maximum print size is 24”x36”. 24”x36” prints must have a 1” border all the way around the image, and so cannot be full bleed at that size.
Turnaround time depends on volume, but tends to be around 5-10 business days. Express printing available.
Gicleé images should be CMYK .tiff files saved with LZW compression, 600 dpi.
