FAQ
Each Giclée print is personally signed and packed by the artist before being shipped directly from the studio. Canvas prints, on the other hand, are produced by trusted third-party companies and shipped directly from their production center. What is a Giclée Print? Giclée (pronounced Gee’clay) is derived from a French term meaning “to spray,” describing the method by which specialized inkjet printers apply ink. Unlike standard inkjet printers, Giclée printers are much larger and more precise, capable of producing print over a meter wide on high-quality archival papers. Giclée printing is designed to achieve the highest quality reproductions of fine art and photography with exceptional color depth and detail.
