Giclée Museum Quality Prints in both Canvas and Paper Editions of 300

A giclée canvas (zhee-CLAY) is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclée, a French term meaning “spraying of ink” is produced from a digital scan of the original artwork. The printing is done on an archival, museum quality acid free canvas or paper with the application of a fine stream of ink. More than four million droplets per second, is sprayed onto a specially treated canvas or paper. They are treated with the same varnish as original paintings are. This eliminates the possibility of inks fading and the need for matting or glass.

In most cases, each giclée will be approved by the artist personally. This helps to reassure buyers of a canvas or paper reproduction that it is the best representation of the original artwork. Each giclée is hand-signed by artist and includes a “Certificate of Authenticity.” The giclée reproductions are also limited editions and quantity is low to ensure their exclusivity. These giclée reproductions will come in either stretched and ready to frame or rolls. Oversized canvases can be shipped rolled with stretcher bars provided.

Giclée are quickly becoming the new standard in the reproductions art industry. They are the closest best duplication ever of an original. Giclées reproduction can be flexible when offering both enlarged or reduced sizes from the original with the costs adjusted accordingly. Giclées are moisture resistant, and can be wiped off with a damp cloth if needed. They are also fade resistant. A special varnish applied to the Giclées will protect it from fading or colors bleeding. They do not reqiure glass coverings, Therefore spotlighting is encouraged to illuminate the color and detail of a giclée reproduction.


Please Note:

1. Sizes: Currently most Giclées reproductions sold here reflect the actual size of the original paintings. There is one painting “Early Morning Breakout - Common Loon Family” which offers both actual size as well as a reduced size option to buyer because of its extra large size.

2. Increase or Decrease Sizes: Questions have been posed about increasing sizes of some of the paintings to match the need of the buyer. This can be done on an individual basis, where the buyer supplies the reqired size option and the artist on his part presents the new price option.

3. Floating frames have also been requested and can be producted with an charge based on the size of print - (add two inches to both width and height of print size)
