Since 1997
Giclée - (French meaning to Spray) pronounced zhee-clay.
With a pallet of over 7 million colors, and a process delivering up to 4 million droplets of ink per second, prints can be reproduced directly from a digital image file without compromising detail or color vibrancy.
Producing a Fine Art Giclée is a meticulous process, requiring skill, patience and dedication to you, the Artist. It is not only knowing your equipment, but using the very best in Ink and Media to obtain the artistic interpretation and representation of the Artist's original works.
Because this technology allows the image to be stored to disk, an Artist has the choice of printing images on an 'as needed basis'.
We will gladly work with you to answer any questions about the process!
