INFO ABOUT GICLEE PRINTS

See far below for OUR FULL RANGE OF GICLEE´s ON CANVAS

Shown here is  "Watcher" stretched over a 32mm stretcher bar.  Having your work stretched as opposed to framed,  eliminates the need for an expensive external frame and is an economical alternative at a fraction of the cost to get your unframed art on the wall.   The image in the middle "All in the Boat" shows the plain neutral colour border around the image which wraps around the sides of all of our canvas giclees if  you have them stretched.  On the right is shown a double silver framed Giclee on canvas - "Lone Journey".  The title of the work is printed very discretely in small font along one side of the plain coloured border, and a very small logo is printed on the top edge of all giclee canvas prints.  The logo will be hidden from sight when you stretch or frame the work.  Please note it is not intended for the plain border to be part of the image.

LIMITED EDITIONS AND UNLIMITED EDITIONS

Giclees, like 4 colour process paper prints can be limited editions or unlimited editions.  There are no hard rules about this as the process used to make a limited edition giclee or 4 colour process print is the same whether it is limited or unlimited.  Some may say that the limiting of an edition creates a rarity as the work is then not supposed to be created in that form again once the edition is complete.  There is however no reason that the ´image´ itself (not the form or medium it is limited in) cannot be reproduced again and so there is always debate around limiting a mechanicallly produced product.  It can be a confusing area and its not suprising the customer becomes wary about Giclee prints and confused about what a limited edition is.

However please note that the Limited Edition (Giclee or 4 colour print) which is produced by a mechanical process where the Artist does not have to participate (hands on) in the creation of the Limited Edition is unlike say an ´Artists Made Limited Edition´ where the artist actually participates in making a plate or print by hand, and the plate is destroyed afterwards.  There are other limited edition works made as lithographs, seriagraphs, collagraphs and so on where the artist has not ´touched the plate´ and these can still have high value.  Giclee limited editions should not really fall outside this realm however there is an argument still in progress in the industry about this due to the nature of a ´digital file´ being different to say a ´lithograph plate´ which can be destroyed.

The true ´Artists Made Limited Edition" is a work of art that has been made a number of times technically and in our mind holds good resale value.  We can only say that there are no hard fast rules but there are opinions on the matter of what limited editions are meant to be.  This site does not sell ´Artists Made Limited Editions´, but these can be purchased at www.helennorton.com.au

There are many descriptions for this process ranging from the romantic version to the very simple and pragmatic, but essentially a giclee print it is a very high quality digitally produced print using a high quality specific kind of bubble jet printer which uses lightfast specialty inks in a very wide range of tones to give the subtlety to the reproduction not possible in a 4 colour process or on your home bubble jet printer.   This results in a very good reproduction of an original artwork.  The advantages to using the Giclee print method over a 4 colour or lithograph process are that we can print to canvas (as well as paper) but also that we can reproduce with remarkable accuracy the tones and textures in the original artwork.  The works are stable with lightfast inks however no artwork likes to sun bake!    We varnish our canvas with a good quality sealing product to further protect the work.
