About the Artwork
Canvas Reproductions |
Paper Digital Reproductions |
| Our canvas giclées are made using UV-stable inks ( Epson UltraChrome K3 or Roland) and museum quality canvas, come coated with a UV-inhibitor and can be displayed in the same fashion as oil or acrylic canvas artwork. However it is recommended that they, like all fine artwork, not be displayed in direct sunlight. These canvas reproductions can be individually enhanced by the artist for an additional cost. |
Our giclée prints are individually hand printed
using durable 100% acid-free art paper (exceeding density of 250 gsm),
museum quality canvas and UV-stable inks. P In displaying your paper giclée, it is
recommended that it be mounted using acid-free materials, framed
behind glass or equivalent, and not be exposed to water or displayed
in direct sunlight. These reproductions come signed by the artist,
numbered, and documented. A signed, stamped, and dated certificate
is available upon request at no additional cost. |
Offset Lithographic Prints |
Certificates |
|
These prints are manufactured using a
photo-mechanical process called offset lithography. While
improvements over the years in inks and paper have made these images
increasingly more stable, it is highly recommended that to best
maintain color, this art not be exposed to direct sunlight,
intensive artificial or ultraviolet light, or moisture, and framed
using a protective pane, the best being glass treated with
ultraviolet protection. Sizes vary from 20" x 24" to 18" x 30"; the
images are seated with margins, some come with captions, and some
with historic text. Serio-lithographs (we have a few) are offset
lithographs that have made an additional pass through a silk screen
process. These prints come signed by the artist
(personalized signatures are available upon request). |
Certificates for digital reproductions (canvas
and paper giclées) are available upon request at no additional
charge. They include the artist's signature, date, recorded number
of the giclée, and are stamped by the artist's seal. Most
certificates include a description of the scene or a historical
summary of the depicted event.
