LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
The Limited Edition Prints are 24" x 16.5" Giclée prints. Each print is signed and numbered, with a maximum of 100 of each example produced. They are printed on Somerset Velvet Watercolor paper (100% cotton, acid-free, 19 mil thickness).
Giclée Prints
Pronounced 'Zhee-Clay', the term is taken from a French word meaning, 'that which is sprayed or squirted'. Giclée printing is a type of inkjet printing – but importantly, not all inkjet prints are giclée prints.
Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. There are at least three basic criteria, which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclee...
1. Image Resolution: Giclée prints are printed at very high-resolutions, up to 2400 x 1200 dpi.
2. Paper: For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be of archival quality. Typically it will be acid free and consists of a 100% cotton or rag base.
3. Inks: The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last for 100 years without significant fading.
