What is this Giclee process?
Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) is a French word, loosely translated, meaning "to spray." Giclee printing is the current quality standard for reproducing limited edition prints. High-resolution scanning and digital printers combine to spray extremely fine droplets of ink onto heavy watercolor paper or canvas. The result is outstanding visual quality with sharp detail and brilliant color saturation. These prints are processed one at a time from start to finish and the largest edition size is 101 copies; the smallest is 15 copies. They are signed and numbered by the artist. They are produced on a Roland FJ-540 print engine on Hahnemuhle William Turner Watercolor Paper in Pantone ColorVantage inks. This museum quality fine art digital reproduction should be cared for in the same manner as one would care for original artwork. Avoid exposing to direct sunlight and non-filtered ultraviolet light sources. While not a requirement, it is recommended that a UV filtering glass be used to frame these pieces. Ask your framer for acid-free backing and mats to insure no chemical seepage. For more info@tombarnesfineart.com
