The word Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a French term, which loosely translated means "spraying of ink". Through technology, this plateless method of fine art printing became available to artists and publishers in 1989.

Digital images are reproduced with the use of large format, high resolution printers. Our publishers use the latest Equipoise TM inks. Our prints are made on acid free archival Somerset Velvet watercolor paper. Equipoise TM inks have been tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research of Grinnell, IA, and they have concluded that images should last 32-36 years before noticeable fading occurs.

Each image is individually sent to the printer, creating slight color variations from piece to piece ~ a quality both collectors and gallery patrons look for in limited edition prints. As with any watercolor image, these works are delicate and must be framed under glass.

Iris Giclée Prints are not only highly suitable for the home, but are well suited for hanging in corporate offices as well as hotels and restaurants.
