| About Giclée Prints |
|
Through reproduction, more
people can enjoy a favorite image. On this website you will notice a
few giclée (ghee-clay) prints. At this time, 28 of my paintings are
available as high quality giclée prints. The art of printing has
become even more precise and affordable with this printing process.
A giclée print is as visually rewarding as it is technically amazing,
featuring brilliant, exquisite color and razor sharp detail, almost
identical to the original.
The cornerstone of this process is an enhanced digital inkjet printer, which is specifically designed for the precise criteria of fine art collectors and connoisseurs of museum quality prints. The word giclée is French, and means spurt or squirt, in this case meaning "spray of ink" From hundreds of inkjets more than a million droplets of ink per second are sprayed on watercolor paper. A completed image is compromised of almost 20 billion droplets of ink. The resulting print has no perceptible dot pattern. It's an endless array of richly saturated color, and every nuance of the original image. |

to enjoy favorite paintings. Close to 40 of my images are available
