Giclee Prints
All of my Original Oil Paintings are available as Giclee Prints.
Giclee (zhee-CLAY) is a French word that means to spray or squirt ink. A giclee is an individually produced, high-resolution, high tech reproduction printed on a special high fidelity eight-color-ink large format printer. Giclees are museum quality prints that offer extraordinary detail and the richest possible interpretation of an artist's original work.
The giclee process typically begins with someone using a digital camera to take a very high-resolution photograph of an original work of art. The photograph is then downloaded onto a computer creating an extremely detailed digital file. The file is reviewed and any correction, retouching, restoration, or detailed sharpening is made so the image is as close a digital match to the original work of art as possible.
Special inks on large, high-resolution 'ink jet' printers produce incredibly true-to-life colors with no perceptible dot pattern and with every nuance of the original image. While no printing ink can be a 'perfect' color match for the dyes and pigments used in traditional paintings, giclée prints are the closest reproduction of an original art work that is possible.
This giclee process has become the new standard in the art industry and is widely embraced by the best museums and galleries around the world.
