Giclée printing is a recent introduction and is making a strong impact on the British print market. The giclée process starts in the same way as off-set litho in that the original painting is scanned using a very high definition laser scanner but instead of making plates the information is fed into a computer and the image is printed using a very high quality, large format, inkjet printer called an iris printer. New non-fading archival inks combined with the ability to print onto either canvas or acid free, hot pressed watercolour paper produces a superb quality print virtually indistinguishable from the original.
The canvas prints are printed onto 100% cotton canvas which has been specially treated to take the giclée process. Printed using lightfast, archival inks and then oversealed with a protective, matt varnish containing UV blockers that filter out 95% of harmful light and help protect the surface. The canvases are then stretched over a unique system of tensioned, box stretchers made from chamfered, obeche wood, a substantial 45x45mm square, obtained from renewable sources. This system ensures that the frames will not warp or twist and that any slackening over time can be re-tensioned simply by pushing the tensioning blocks further into each corner.
The canvas prints are delivered cellophane wrapped and boxed and are ready to hang. The paper prints are dispatched in special wide postal tubes. The individual prices are clearly marked alongside each painting.
