I am often asked "Just what is a giclee?" Giclee is a French term meaning "spray of ink". My original painting is photographed and a digital image is created which is read by a computer. The computer then releays the image to a six color large format printer. The printer produces the image by delivering a fine spray of ink, up to a million micro droplets per second. Each droplet is four times smaller than a human hair. The display of a full color spectrum allows for the portrayal of the finest detail and vibrancy of the original image and maximum resolution of color density.
My prints are produced by Palette Arts in Nipomo on 100% rag watercolor paper with archival inks. I sign and number each print and include a Certificate of Authenticity.
