Giclee reproduction technology provides incredible detail and brilliant color. The resolution (DPI or dots per inch) is actually higher than traditional lithography which results in crisp contrast with rich, intense color.

All Giclee prints are produced on archival quality canvas, much like an original painting. This gives each piece a similar look and feel to an original work of art. The mediums we use are acid free. All of these media are treated for use with the inkjet process and produce brilliant, velvety color. Life-span estimates of Giclees by third-party testing indicate over 150 years with no noticeable fade. We do recommend that customers treat their Giclee prints the same as they would an original piece of art. If the print has not been coated, it must be protected from moisture by glass. And you should never expose any type of artwork to prolonged sunlight or other harsh conditions.

The Giclee process was born in the early 1990's as rock musician Graham Nash & and his associate Mac Holbert uncovered a new capability of the Iris inkjet printer called the 3047. These early machines had been developed for digital graphic proofing but it had not occurred to the manufacturer that its equipment would be adopted by artists as a digital method of fine art printing. In 1991, thanks to Mr. Nash's vision, the world's first digital fine art atelier opened it's doors. Since this early beginning, the technology in equipment, media, inks and craftsmanship have advanced immeasurably.
