The 300gr print paper is wrapped around the drum of the IRIS, spinning at a high speed. Eight nozzles, each containing a separate color (CMYK) travel along the drum, spraying ink and forming the image. The micro drop size and 1800 dpi resolution compose unquestionably high-quality prints. The time it takes to run off just one giclée print could be as long as 1 hour. Giclées are appear in the finest galleries around the world. Understanding this process is becoming a necessity for everyone who wants to be up-to-date on the current state of the art world.

We use a giclée digital printing system to create our Limited Edition Prints, Signed Prints and Cards.
The word giclée, pronounced "zhee-clay" is a French word that means "to spray". A giclée print is made by using a highly sophisticated and very expensive ink jet printer. Its drum based technology creates prints that are almost identical to the original artwork. The inks we use ensure a highly saturated brilliant colour print for life-like detail.

Will my Giclée Print last forever?
Preservation and Longevity – it is not advisable to hang any art in direct sunlight, as this will eventually damage the work (this applies to artwork in any medium, including oils). A certain amount of fading will occur over a period of about 30 years. Provided your prints are not hung in direct sunlight and are correctly framed or stored, they should last you a lifetime.

Each Limited Edition print has two numbers which appear like this on the print: Limited Edition – The bottom number (in this example, 100) refers to the number of prints in the edition. The top number (26) means that this is the 26th print in a series of 100 prints. Once the stated number of a limited edition has been reached, no more prints are made from that original image. Both the artist and the printer destroy all high-resolution scans of the image, ensuring that no more prints are made. An open edition means that there is no limit to the number of prints produced from the same original image.

A signed original painting is always more valuable than signed limited edition print, because it is one of a kind – literally the ORIGINAL. We normaly have a small amout of originals for sale, which come in a passpartout and can be offered mounted in a handmade frame designed by myself if needed.
