Fine Art Inkjet Imaging
Welcome to the world of Fine Art Inkjet Imaging, known as Giclée Imaging. What makes a Giclée print? This recently "minted" word originates from the French word gicleur, meaning "to spray." Our printers deliver pigment-based inks via controlled streams of micro-fine droplets to coated canvases or other print media and produce images of remarkably delicate gradations and crisp detail.
We print our own original images on professional Canon and Epson printers using the finest media and the printer manufacturers' proprietary inks. The prints offer long lasting beauty when protected against extremes of light and moisture and are predicted to be visually unchanged after a century or more of display. Our greeting cards are individually printed on a beautiful, 100% cotton fiber fine art paper. They are made on the same printers with the same care we excercise in the production of the larger prints and canvases. It is no surprise that many frame these pieces for permanent display. This provides an inexpensive introduction to the larger pieces.
Our customers agree: our prints are of extraordinary beauty. Many, when viewing the canvases, find it difficult to believe they are not original paintings. Enthusiastic responses are gratifying, but the greatest compliment derives from those who purchase a piece or two, display them in their homes or offices and return for more, often with friends and colleagues in tow. We love sharing images of "presence" that bring joy to so many.
Finishing Detail:
Size options for the products refer to printed image area. The Fine Art prints have an additional 2" white border surround and rolled Canvases have an additional 2.5" white border surround. Fine-Art prints and rolled Canvases are shipped in tubes.
Stretched Canvases have a protective satin overcoat and are ready for hanging.
Custom Orders:
We offer our prints and canvases in two or three sizes, but are happy to provide quotes for custom sizes. Many images are suitable for printing in larger sizes. And some files, notably those from scanned large format film and those stitched from multipse frames are suitable for very large displays. Multiple panel prints (polytychs) are a fine solution for extremely large displays. We have the images and we welcome the opportunity discuss your needs.
