The Giclee technique uses an Iris digital ink jet printer which has been specifically designed for producing museum quality, limited edition prints. The printer uses continuous tone technology, incredibly small pixels (droplets) of color reproduce an amazingly smooth and consistent image, faithfully recreating the artists' original work. Acid free, archival-quality watercolor paper is attached to a drum, and as the drum rotates at a very high speed, tiny individual dots of color are sprayed onto the surface at a rate of 4-5 million dots per second. A full size print may take up to an hour to reproduce.

Once completed, an 18" x 26" image is comprised of almost 15 billion dots of ink. The Giclee printing process uses specially formulated archival inks which result in museum quality prints.

The reproduction of my work involves a very special collaboration between the Pictex Giclee Printmaking Studio and me. The quality of these prints is of an exceptionally high standard. I proof each image for the exact look and feel that I want for the piece. Every mark, tone, and nuance of the original art is captured in the reproduction. I offer these limited edition prints so that people who respond to my work have more of an opportunity to purchase, because of the price differentiation between these Iris prints and the original art.
