Our Printing Process *What is a Giclee print? A "Giclee Print" is the next generation in printmaking technology. Our images are created from high resolution digital files and are printed with archival quality inks onto archival quality, gallery wrapped canvas. The giclee printing process provides fantastic color accuracy and is the next best thing to owning the original work of art.
*What is a Cibachrome print? Cibachrome (now called Ilfochrome) is a positive-to-positive color printing process that takes a transparency and creates a positive print image while retaining a first- generation sharpness without the need for an internegative. (I.E. it looks more like an incredibly sharp photograph than other printing processes). With Ilfochrome Classic (Cibachrome), the dyes are built into the paper and are bleached out selectively in processing. These dyes are called azo dyes, and they are noted for their vivid color and vastly superior archival qualities.
