PRODUCT
what is a GICLÉE print?
The word “Giclée” is French for “sprayed ink.” Today, the term is used to describe a sophisticated inkjet printmaking process which creates the highest quality fine art reproductions.
We use giclée printing to produce an extra-fine image resolution to show all of the beautiful intricacies of our waterways and to ensure the longevity of your new art work. We print on quality thick fine art paper which is ArtSure approved by The Fine Art Trade Guild.
Please note any print located in direct sunlight is still likely to fade over time.
how should i look after my new print?
Please be extra careful when unwrapping your print as and try to minimise touching the surface of the print to avoid any finger prints or scratches. Once framed place your print in your favorite spot out of direct sunlight in a location free of damp or extreme temperatures.
