Giclée is from the French word meaning “fine spray”. The original painting is digitally scanned and then adjusted to match the original's colours. An advanced ink-jet printer is used to put the image on paper or canvas. Our Giclée prints are produced on archival quality acid-free canvas and watercolour papers. Canvas and watercolour papers produce softer colour than glossy medias, and there is no way around that. With good colour management original artwork can be faithfully reproduced but some bright paint colours cannot. If bright, vivid colour is essential to you, you will need to use a gloss or satin photo paper instead. We use only uv resistant pigment inks which have a lifespan on acid free media in gallery conditions of well over 100 years.
