A Giclée is an accurate, mechanically produced art reproduction. A Giclée is not an original work of art, but an excellent reproduction of a work of art.
Production
An original artwork is digitally photographed in the
highest possible resolution. Any reflections or specks of dust are carefully
retouched. The image is then prepared for the Giclée process, and adapted
to the type of paper to be used. Regarding the quantities of ink and the
ideal colour separation, this allows for the correct instructions to be
fed to the printer, regarding the quantities of ink and the ideal colour
separation. Finally, the sharpness of the image is determined, dependent
on the size of the print. At this point, the image is ready to be printed.
Durability
The use of lightfast pigments and wood-free, specially
coated paper guarantees faithful, long-lasting colours. No visible discolorations
have been discovered, even during tests under extremely severe conditions.
Maintenance
The Giclée reproduction is of such a high quality that
it is not necessary to frame it behind glass, although this does offer
extra protector ofcourse. The reproduction may be dusted with a dry cloth;
however, the use of solvents or other liquids will cause damage.
Conclusion
An Art Revisited Giclée reproduction is the best possible art reproduction obtainable with today's technology.
