What Is a Pigmented Ink Print?

 Pigmented Prints are produced on the Epson 2000P Printer. These prints are produced by me in my studio and are Archival to 200 years. They are only available in 12x18 approx. image size.

What Is a Giclee Print?

Recent advancements in printing technology have resulted in a reproduction process with incredible resolution. An "Iris Print" or "Giclee" (pronounced jeek-lay) is as rewarding visually as it is technically amazing. For brilliant, exquisite color and razor sharp detail it is unsurpassed. This type of art reproduction is quickly becoming the new standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for its quality by major museums, galleries, publishers and artists. A giclee print is simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically or technically possible.

To explain briefly, the giclee printmaking process involves a particular printer, the IRIS 3047, which has been modified for the precision of fine art printing. From each of four nozzles, more than a million droplets of ink the size of a human red blood cell are sprayed on a canvas or watercolor paper spinning on a drum at a speed of up to 150 feet per second!

The resulting print has no perceptible dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated color, and every nuance of the original image.
