GICLEES Giclée (jhee-clay) is a French word meaning "spraying of paint". The word is used to describe prints produced by a high definition inkjet printer. Giclées use digital technology to enhance and preserve the character of the artists's original. The printing is done with costly pigment based archival inks printed on museum quality canvas or rag paper. The result is an image that rivals the beauty of the original. Giclées are found in most major art museums and fine art galleries, validating this new form of art.
CANVAS GICLEES Giclée on canvas are meant to be stretched on canvas stretcher-bars, a service offered by most good framers, and then framed just like an original painting. I stretch my giclées myself to offer my customer a more competitive price, however, if you are ordering a print that is to be shipped over a long distance, shipping the print unstretched rolled in a tube would be more economical.
LE...LIMITED EDITION PRINTS A fixed number of identical prints of an image, signed by the artist, sequentially numbered, and showing both the print's number and the total edition size. Each print is referred to as a "limited edition print". All prints are signed and numbered. Prices are subject to change. Edition sizes represent the total number of prints in the edition regardless of the size or paper. You can request custom sizes and custom stretching either on ¾" stretcher bars, which would later be framed, or 1 ½" stretcher bars a.k.a. gallery wrap.
OPEN EDITIONS This are when the quantity of prints reproduced is not limited. As long as the image is in demand, it will be printed.
AP - ARTIST PROOF PRINTS Artists proofs are early run prints. They were considered the best-quality in a print run, from a printing plate before wear and tear, holding more ink and producting a crisper image. Common practice is that 10 to 15 percent of an edition size is reserved for the artist. They are excluded from the numbering of a limited edition, but are exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect yet are often considered more valuable. Usually appears as "A.P."
ENHANCED The artist enhances a print by painting onto the image, with the intent for the print to have similar characteristics of the original. I will add touches that the printing process doesn't pick up such as the shine of interference paint on a hummingbirds head for example. Enhanced prints can be considered more valuable because the added brush strokes make it unique from every other print.
