All images are printed via Giclée technique to art gallery standard on high quality Hahnemühle Fine Art 308 gsm heavyweight paper using the latest light-fast ink technology (see more info below). Each print is printed with a generous white 50 mm border all around with a light keyline and text underneath. Prints are available with sizes upwards of 400 mm (16 inches) wide, the height being dependent on the format of the image.
More prints will become available in the coming weeks and months.

What is Giclée?
The Giclée printmaking process has been in existence for around 15 years and was originally developed in America. The machines used to create each print do not use copper or aluminum plates like the traditional lithographic printing process, instead the image is sprayed onto the paper at the rate of one million droplets of ink per second giving an apparent visual resolution of over 1800 dpi (dots per inch).
The process gives a continuous tone result that can be applied to nearly any paper surface regardless of how irregular. It takes 80 minutes to make one print of 35 x 47 inches. This technique, although slow, produces prints that are rich in colour, with a flawless velvety texture that matches the feel of the original.
Print Quality
Printed onto the highest quality archival substrates and using only very specialised inks, prints have the remarkable colour saturation and continuous tone characteristics one would expect of an original painting. In fact, distinguishing one from an original can be very difficult, even to the expert eye.
Prints are generally produced on acid-free calcium carbonate-buffered archival watercolour paper or onto fine archival-quality cotton canvas coated with an acid free primer. On light-fastness, the ink and paper combinations generally used meet the standards of both the Fine Art Trade Guild’s blue wool scale and those of Wilhelm Imaging Research in America.
And, leaving aside the technical specification, the quality of the print is fantastic!
