About Giclee Prints
Giclee is a French word (pronounced jee-clay) that roughly translates to "squirt" or "spray". The making of a Giclee is a very precise, time-consuming method of reproducing art with outstanding resolution, vibrant color and unsurpassed detail.
This exceptional print is created by craftsmen utilizing a specialized printer spraying millions of droplets of archival quality inks onto the canvas or watercolor paper. The result is a print that is as near the original as is humanly possible with no detectable dot pattern that is found with traditional printing.
You can be assured by the purchase of a "Giclee" that you have obtained a fine museum quality print.

CARE OF YOUR PRINTS The care of a Giclee is really no different from that of any original. I will only highlight a few items - most of which I have violated at one time or another and have had to live with the undesirable results. Remove all packing material from your shipped print upon arrival. Frame your piece as soon as possible, remembering if glass is used to use a mat or some type of spacer between the glass and print to prevent the transfer of minute condensation. Insure only acid free material is used. Avoid placing in direct light; natural or fluorescent. Also avoid hanging above heat sources or outside walls. |  | | | |
