About the Giclee Reproductions

These museum quality limited edition giclee reproductions are signed by the artist and numbered to an edition of 200 for each image. A certificate of authenticity is provided with each Limited Edition Giclee Reproduction.
The Giclee Reproductions can be printed with or without a 1" border. Matting and framing are not included in the price; however, you are welcome to contact the artist for more information on this subject.
 

The image capture:

The image of each painting has been captured digitally by Rob Destrube, of Destrube Photography, Victoria, British Columbia. Using a large format high performance camera with digital scan back by Better Light, Destrube is able to capture the rich details of this artwork. The image is recorded and provided to Prism Imaging  in Victoria, B.C
 

The printing process:

At the printers the image is carefully proofed by a technician (who has 30 years experience in this industry).  The image is then sent from the computer to a high performance large format Epson printer and is printed using Epson Textured Fine Art Paper.  The archival inks used in this reproduction have the same longevity as the Winsor Newton watercolour paints the artist used in the original painting.
 

The paper and ink:

The image is printed with archival inks onto Epson Textured Fine Art Paper, a 100% cotton rag paper that has the look and touch of Old World handmade paper.  This acid free cold press paper is engineered to give the highest resolution and colour saturation possible.
 

The result:

The result is the finest museum quality limited edition giclee reproduction available today!

 

Framing Hints:

Use only the best materials. These cost a little extra, but will ensure the preservation of your artwork in the best possible condition.
The mount and all backing materials should be 100% rag, not just ‘acid-free’ as ‘acid-free’ is only a thin coating over a NON-acid-free core.
Use conservation glass to protect the artwork from the light.
Remember that light and humidity are the enemy, so hang your prints and paintings away from direct light in addition to using conservation glass.
Do not allow the print to touch the glass when framed.

Do not dry mount, or permanently fix the artwork to the backing as this decreases the value and damages the artwork. Use a framer who is knowledgeable about conservation techniques.

Choose frame colours and styles that match the style of your home.
