Giclee, pronounced (zhee-clay),
is a new advanced printmaking process developed for producing the
highest quality fine art reproductions available. The artist's painting
is scanned, in-house, directly from the original using state-of-the-art
high resolution digital camera-back scanning technology. Working with
strict color-management techniques, our artist-craftsmen manipulate and
proof the digital file until they are satisfied that the results are as
close to the original work of art as possible. The artist then works
with the technician to "fine-tune" the work and prepare for the final
printing process. The result of these efforts is a reproduction that is
indistinguishable from the original artwork.
The final approved file is then sent to
one of our eight color printmakers. The fade-resistant, pigmented inks
are sprayed at the highest resolution to whatever material has been
chosen, whether it be 100% rag art stock or canvas. During the actual
run, every print is inspected to assure unsurpassed quality.
After the reproductions are printed, they
are sent to our finishing lab where they are inspected, hand-deckled and
embossed with our Seal of Authenticity.
