Information & Details

 

Our museum quality Giclée prints are produced on beautiful Hahnemuhle matte archival paper, or on gallery wrapped stretched canvas that closely resembles the original artwork. The term Giclée roughly derives from the French term to “gush or spurt”, as in the microscopic spray from a high resolution inkjet printer.

To meet the high benchmark to qualify as archival paper, it must be acid-free, manufactured using pure cotton fibers (also referred to as cotton rag), or pure alpha cellulose fibers- which are more durable than wood pulp and free of optical brighteners. Of course this exceptional paper is considerably more expensive than standard choices, but the visual and tactile differences are noticeable. Prints made with this archival paper should not fade, but remain clear with strong original colors. Short of purchasing an original painting, fine art prints are a wonderful way of investing in a beautiful piece of art.

With the use of either a specialized camera, or an artwork capture scanner, a precise digital file is created from the original artwork to insure a high quality print without compromising color and resolution. 

Currently, we are offering only one size for the paper and canvas prints, but if you would like a custom size print from an original painting featured in the Portfolio or the Print collection, please feel free to contact us and we’ll see if we can accommodate you.  We will be adding to our Fine Art Collection often, so check back and subscribe to the mailing list for occasional updates.

The majority of our fine art prints are standard sizes. This allows you to find a wide variety of ready-made frames easily. If you would prefer an elevated custom look, seek out the advice of a good frame shop and explore the possibilities. You might like floating frames, sandwiched glass, mounting on white paper affording a wide trim, or something more traditional. The gallery wrapped stretched canvas completely surrounds the wood frame and is actually ready to hang without a frame. Just affix two D rings and some wire on the backside and you’re good to go! 

A Certificate of Authenticity is provided and may arrive separately from the print. It could include the artist’s signature, artwork's date of completion, sale date, mediums used and any limited edition information if offered. A limited edition print comes from a series or set of numbered prints.  It is not unusual for a signed, limited edition fine art print to increase in value over time.

Because you will be receiving custom artwork, expect a minimum of two weeks for printing and shipping.
