A range of my work is now available in print form making my art more affordable to more people. Because I wanted the best reproduction of my artwork I chose to produce them in the form of a Giclée print. |

What is a Giclée Print?
The Process... At first, in order to create the highest quality edition possible, the original artwork is transferred to a high resolution digital file using a very high-spec digital camera or digital scanner. Unlike other reproduction methods, such as lithography or four-colour printing, each Giclée print is sent individually to the ink jet printer. This individual attention ensures a final print of the highest quality with resoloution and colour so brilliant it can exceed even those produced by lithography or other printing methods. My images are printed on a variety of substrates, including archival watercolor paper and canvas, and each print is handinspected, then signed. My prints are also treated with a UV-filtering coating, but you can increase their life expectancy by hanging them in a place that will not receive excessively bright light, especially direct sunlight (as is true for any work of art), and/or by using UV filtering glass when framing them. In other words, care for them just as you would for any fine artwork on paper. The canvas prints do not need glass. |
About the Ink... Ultachrome is a new ink formulation implemented with my Stylus Pro Series Gicée printer. The inks used in this process are especially formulated for fine art printing, offering a Wide colour gamut and a high UV-resistance. The subtleties and nuances of an original artwork are captured by the precise image created by the printer, along with the depth of the colour range and has an expected longevity of up to 75 years, depending on display conditions. |
