Giclee Prints.
The art of fine art printing has become even more precise with the advent of the revolutionary Giclee (ghee-clay) printing process. A Giclee print is as rewarding visually as it is technically amazing. For brilliant, exquisite colour and razor sharp detail it is unsurpassed. This type of art reproduction is quickly becoming the new standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for its quality by major museums, galleries, publishers and artists. A Giclee Print is simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically or technically possible.
The cornerstone of this process is enhanced digital ink jet printing. The printers are specifically designed for the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art collectors and connoisseursof museum quality limited edition prints.
The word Giclee itself is French and means spurt or squirt, in this case meaning, "spary of ink". From hundreds of inkjets more than a million droplets of ink per second are sprayed on canvas or watercolour parper. Once completed an image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of ink. The latest Giclee Printing Technology enhanced the standard the standard 4 colour process to an 8 colour process.
The resulting print has no perceptible dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated colour and every nuance of the original image. The most archival water based lightfast inks available in the world are used. The latest inks offer a 100+ year light-fastness and UV resistance under museum archival condition.
Beyond this description, a Giclee Print simply must be seen to be fully appreciated. Fine Art Galleries across the country are warmly receiving Giclee.
