Signed & Numbered Giclee Prints Now Available 

What is a Giclee Print?

   Giclee reproductions were first developed in 1989 as a plateless method of fine art printing. The original painted image is scanned and digitally stored in a computer and then sent to a high resolution color inkjet printer developed for the fine art industry. 
   Unlike offset color printing, each giclee image is printed individually. A wide variety of substrates can be used to accept the image, such as watercolor and other fine art papers.
   In the giclee process, a fine stream of ink, (more than four million droplets a second), is sprayed onto the paper surface. Through a computer, color, value and density can be critically controlled or changed if necessaty. Over three million colors can be produced using specially developed non-toxic water based inks. This process provides incredible detail and color. Giclee prints offer richness and depth that set them far apart from traditional offset lithography.

   The giclee process is now being embraced by museums throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Corcoran Museum in Washington, D.C. and the British Museum of Art in London. A giclee is the closest thing a collector can have next to the original, and as the quality and longevity of giclee inks continue to improve, more artists are discovering a new tool that expands their artistic horizons.
