Giclee prints
(zhee-clay) is a French term meaning “spray of ink”. A giclée is a means of reproducing an original. It is not an original graphic but a fine quality reproduction print. Giclée prints render deep, saturated colours and have a beautiful painterly quality that retains minute detail, subtle tints and blends.

First giclée prints begin as original art.
Second the work is scanned into the computer, where it is colour corrected. That colour correction requires an experienced eye and touch in making the proper adjustments in tone, contrast, sharpness and other factors to produce a print that faithfully reproduces the original or produces a new highly individual stylistic piece of art.
Third, in matching the computer image with the final print, a practised eye must make adjustments for the best results.
And last, the printer itself needs steady attention to produce consistent, quality results. In short, the human hand is part of every step of the giclée process. Indeed, the difference between a quality printer and one that is not, lies almost entirely in the human involvement and craftsmanship.
To maintain the highest quality, i only use the finest paper & canvass. I print my giclee on,
Hahnemuhle German Etching, 310 g.s.m. This heavyweight etching board is silky smooth with a fine surface texture. It is one of the most popular media worldwide for artwork
& photography. Each print has a white border.
Or
Folex fine art 320 gsm canvas with stretcher bars. Image on front face ready for framing . Or image wrapped round sides, no frame required, .
Any original piece of my work is available in these medium & can be customised to an individual size or available budget.
Each print is numbered, titled and signed by me.
These are the images I have as limited edition prints of either 50 or 100 in the edition.
They will be sent unmounted .
