Giclée Fine Art Prints:
What are giclée prints? Pronounced (zhee-CLAY), they are individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity reproductions made on a large-format inkjet printer. Giclées (also known as "fine art prints") are produced from digital photographs or scans of existing artwork.
My giclée prints are professionally printed on Somerset Velvet paper. This "industry standard" paper is engineered to give the highest resolution and color saturation possible. This paper has the authentic "look and feel" of high quality watercolor paper. Somerset Velvet paper is 100% cotton, made with one of the purest sources of cellulose. It is an acid free archival quality paper. It is also buffered with calcium carbonate to combat acid attack that finished prints may encounter from air pollution. It has a radiant white, velvet surface for rich details and vivid color reproduction.
These prints are printed in 8-color on an Epson Stylus Pro 9800 with Epson Ultrachrome professional archival inks. You can expect Somerset Velvet Giclée Prints to last more than 60 years if framed under glass. Handle these prints carefully to prevent smudges and fingerprints on the surface. You should also try to prevent exposure of your fine art prints to direct sunlight and moisture. Bleeding may occur with accidental water contact.
Superior Quality Archival Photographic Prints:
My photo prints are professionally printed on Kodak Supra Endura Professional photographic paper in Gloss finish. I use gloss because it shows the most detail. Luster and Matte finishes are also available by request. Kodak Supra Endura photographic paper has an extraordinary color gamut and state-of-the art image stability. These prints are printed on a Noritsu MP 1600. A traditional photographic process is employed using real photographic paper, which is exposed with light and then run through a chemical process. You can expect these prints to last 100 years in typical home display, 200 years in dark storage. You should try to prevent exposure of your photo prints to direct sunlight and moisture.
