Printing

Our standard print is a 30" X 20" canvas Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay"). Giclée is an invented name for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.

Our "Giclées" are individually produced, high-resolution , high-colour-fidelity, long-lasting reproductions made on special ink printers. Colour richness and contrast in the traditional photograph was limited mainly by the original lighting and exposure on the film. Giclée colours are brighter, and the pigmented museum inks last much longer than the dyes used in traditional photographs. They are truly continuous tone because of the way the inks are sprayed on the paper, actually mixing the colours to create beautiful shades and hues.
