Giclee Prints
A Giclée (pronounced ‘gee-clay’) is a high-quality, digitally reproduced print that mirrors the original artwork with remarkable accuracy, thanks to advanced inkjet printing technology. It captures the full spectrum of tones and hues present in the original painting or drawing. Choosing a giclée print is an affordable method to possess a piece of art from my collection. If a specific piece on my site has piqued your interest, it might be available for you to acquire as a giclée print. Please get in touch.

About my Giclee Prints
There is no strict standard for Giclee printing, but the Fine Art Trade Guild do however specify a standard for archival fine art prints and that standard requires paper to be at least 250gsm in weight with a low acidity level (pH7 to pH10), when such paper is combined with modern pigment inks in top-end inkjet printers the result is a very high quality print that you can be confident will last.
Prints produced in this way can be expected to last many years. Accelerated tests indicate that 75+ years can be expected and quite possibly a lot longer. This is the process that my printer offers as he uses Epson printers with UltraChrome K3 pigment inks. Mounts are of archival standards using Arqadia mountboards.
