How
do we achieve such high quality prints?
 Our prints are created from high-resolution digital images
scanned directly from original paintings using
the best quality ink and paper/card stock available. This results in colour
saturation and graphic detail that exceeds most other types of image
reproduction.
The process we use is call Giclée. The word 'Giclée'
(pronounced Gee'clay) is French and means to squirt or spray. Because of this
new technology conventional screens are
 not required and therefore you will not
be able to identify the usual annoying dot pattern associated with traditional
reprographics. This new approach to fine-art printing also means that the whole
range of tones and hues from the original painting can be reproduced. Add this
to the fact that Giclée can be printed on virtually any surface from high-gloss
flat surface, to watercolour or canvas and you will appreciate the fact that we
can bring you a print that almost exactly mirrors the original!.
Even museums have realized the vast potential of this technology and have made
Giclée editions a permanent part of their collections, including the
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and
Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) to name a few.
Why
do we use Giclée?
Apart from the vastly improved
reproduction of our artwork as discussed above, this technique
 also means that
all orders are generally executed on the day received and the printing process
and quality control is carried out and assessed by the only person eligible -
the artist him/herself!

Do I pay extra for packing, postage and

We do not charge for VAT but
charge extra for packing and postage anywhere in the world as follows:
Total order value £0.01 - £5.00 = £0.60
Total order value £5.01 - £10.00 = £1.10
Total order value £10.01 - £20.00 = £2.25
Total order value £20.01 - £30.00 = £3.50
Total order value £30.01 + = £6.00
This is only a contribution and
does not represent the true cost of packing and postage!
