ABOUT GICLEE PRINTS
The Term : The term "giclee print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival museum quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction and is made to last over 100 years.

PAPER: Somerset Velvet:
Since the 1700’s, Somerset has been made in England by St. Cythberts Paper Mill. This 100% mould-made cotton rag paper has a softly textured surface with the look and feel of a traditional watercolor paper. The base color is considered “radiant” white, which delivers vivid color reproduction and exceptional contrast. The D-max (black) is not as deep as with the German Etching or UltraSmooth, but the soft beautiful look of images on Somerset Velvet make it one of our most requested papers. Acid free. Weight = 255gms. |
