Giclée is a limited edition fine
art print, produced with continuous tone ink jet technology
on a variety of substrates
Giclée prints have the look and feel of an original
piece of art: Producing a giclée print is a slow, meticulous
process which requires the skills of a master printer to create
museum quality reproductions. The technology calls for special
equipment and techniques to get the best color accuracy, sharpness,
continuous color tone and artistic interpretation available
in art prints today. Because giclée technology allows
the image to be stored on disk, the artist has the choice
of printing an edition on an "as needed" basis or
all at one time.
Giclée prints are widely accepted at museums and galleries:
Dozens of museums in the U.S. and abroad have either mounted
exhibitions of Giclées or purchased them for their
permanent collections.These include the Metropolitan Museum
(New York), the Guggenheim (New York), the Museum of Fine
Arts (Boston), the Philadelphia Museum, the National Gallery
for Women in the Arts (DC) and the CaliforniaMuseum of Photography,
among others. The Smithsonian Institution will also be reproducing
many of its vintage photographs as giclées in a new
agreement with the Graphic Trust.
Many distinguished artists and photographers are having
Giclées printed, including Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth,
David Hockney, Chuck Close, Stephen Johnson, Joyce Tennyson
and Richard Avedon, to mention a few.We are a fine art digital
studio utilizing state of the art equipment to reproduce your
fine art.
Why is Giclée printing the way of the future? The
apparent resolution of the digital print is 1,800 dots per
inch, which is higher than a traditional lithographic print
and has a wider range of color than serigraphy. Giclee´
prints render deep saturated colors and have a beautiful painterly
quality that retains minute detail, subtle tints and blends.
Our Giclées are IRIS Giclées...The Iris printer
is still considered the absolute tops in prestige. Indeed
the name "Iris" is synonymous with fine art giclee
prints throughout the United States.
