Giclée Fine Art Reproduction The giclée print (pronounced jhee-clay), customed produced by Phelps Studios of East Hardwick, VT, is an archival quality fine art reproduction. This process utilizes a high-resolution digital print technology that produces continuous tone images on paper, canvas or other media. Unlike traditional lithographic methods and other digital techniques which require plates for printing, each giclée print is individually produced with the digital image being separately sent to the printer. Giclée prints have an effective resolution of 1800 dots per inch (DPI), higher than the 1200 DPI of traditional lithographs, and are printed utilizing an 8-color process yielding outstanding detail and color quality. The archival properties of giclée prints have undergone extensive independent research, and under proper display conditions can actually outlast many original watercolors. It must be remembered, however, that all color can fade, and the actual life of any print or painting will be dependent on the inks used, the paper or other media, and the actual display conditions experienced. Maintaining this high digital image resolution with careful attention to all of the printing process is critical to achieving the highest overall quality, with the finest possible sharpness and detail. These limited edition reproductions have the look and feel of original artwork. These prints should be handled as an original painting, preferably framed under UV resistant glass, protected from moisture and kept out of direct sunlight.
