Giclée

Pronounced "zhee-clay" , Giclée is a French word meaning to spray on.  While this is a simple description used in printing, Giclée fine art reproduction is much more.

It begins with a scan of the original artwork.  By using highend drum scanners and digital cameras, the depth of color, suble hues, and intricate detail that is present in fine art originals is captured.  This digital image is then sent to computer workstations where experienced technicians make any artist-requested modifications, and then size and crop the image for printing.  The image is then printed on the best quality fine art paper or canvas using pigmented inks that are guaranteed not to fade under normal lighting conditions for over 200 years.

Giclée prints are a work-of-art in themselves utilizing time-tested craftsmanship and modern technology to create a valuable fine art reproduction that will provide many years of enjoyment for its owner.



Plein-Air

Pronounced "Plen Air".  Plein-air simply means painting on site.
