Quality Professional Giclee Printing
Limited Edition prints of many of the art works on display on this site.
There is no need to have the same mass market paintings as everyone else on your walls. You can now have a unique, individual piece of art for a price comparable to or little more than a high street store.
My Printer and Printing Process
My printers are Castle Framing in the market town of Brampton only a few minutes drive from my village studio. Castle Picture Framing is a Cumbrian based art gallery and reseller of art from some of the finest painters and most collectable artists in the contemporary art world.
What is Giclee
The word Giclée (“g-clay”), is derived from the French verb gicler meaning “to squirt or spray and describes a fine art digital printing process combining pigment based inks with high quality archival quality paper to achieve an inkjet print of superior archival quality, light fastness and stability
Giclee printing should not be confused or even compared to standard digital printing, Giclee is a premium service at 1200 dpi , 12 colours using long life archival pigment inks (claimed to be in excess of 100 years lifespan) this gives great colour accuracy.
Anything reproduced with Giclee printing is recognisable at a glance because of its visual quality, the graduation and range of colour, lack of lines and barring.
About limited edition prints
All prints are supplied in high quality mounts ready to pop into a frame
As the name suggests, only a limited number of hand signed and numbered prints can be made available for purchase. If for example, I decide to sell a limited run of 25 prints, once sold that limited edition will no longer be available. The exclusive nature of a limited edition print effectively raises its value and, therefore, its price reflects that.
