Giclee Prints
What is a Giclee Print?
A Giclee Print is simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically, or technically possible.
The word Giclee comes from French, and means spurt or squirt, in this case meaning, "spray of ink".
The process for printing a Giclee print starts with a 4”x5” transparency of the work which is converted into a digitized format by a computer. Then from a hundred of inkjets more than a million droplets of ink per second are sprayed on a canvas or watercolor paper spinning on a drum. Once completed an image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of ink. The latest Giclee Printing Technology enhanced the standard 4-color process to a 12-color process. The cornerstone of this process are enhanced digital ink jet printers which are specifically designed for the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art collectors and connoisseurs of museum quality, limited edition prints.
A Giclee Print is as rewarding visually as it is technically amazing. For brilliant, exquisite color and razor sharp detail it is unsurpassed.
Each print is an original work of art and are limited to 100 prints each and come with a numbered and signed by the artist Certificate of Authenticity.
Please note however that the colors seen on the website are not always identical to the original artwork; the originals and the giclee prints are usually cleaner and brighter, with a better color balance than they appear on the website.
