Ordering Gicleé Prints of Simple Gifts: Portraits in Forgivess
About Gicleé Prints
To replicate the subtle details of an original work a printing process utilizing highly specialized technology and fine art mediums, commonly referred to as the Gicleé or Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay, meaning "to spray") process, was developed in 1991 with noted printmaker Jack Duganne. With this process master printmakers, in collaboration with the artist, use digitized printing techniques to produce museum quality prints that are difficult to differentiate from the originals. Unlike the normal lithographic processes used to mass produce most limited edition prints, the Gicleé process captures and reproduces the artist's most minute subtleties in superb detail. Blended colors appear to be directing from the artist's brush and fine lines are captured in sharp, crisp detail. The key to the process is the Gicleé graphic printers that literally spray archival water based dyes onto 100% cotton, acid-free paper. The dyes are deeply absorbed into the paper fibers to provide maximum realism with deep saturated colors along with subtle tints and blends.
