About Giclee
The term "Giclee" (pronounced jhee-clay) is from the French verb gicler, translated directly as "spray". This term is used to describe the modern ink-jet printing process, which allows for a much larger gamut of printable colors.The Giclee Process:
The original work of art is first scanned using Paradigm's ImagePro GxT 42HD (a camera based system used to better detect the rough surface of watercolor paper). Due to the digitization of this process, the finished product is far superior than traditional offset lithography. Although this process was inadvertently created to reproduce watercolors, the end result is a strikingly beautiful reproduction.
We print on heavy, textured Arches watercolor paper (230 + gsm, acid free, pH neutral). The same brand used by many artists of this genre. Printing is done on a twelve color Canon plotter (Canon IPF8000), using 120-130 year inks.
Each giclee is embossed with an official California Watercolor seal of authenticity.
