Understanding My Print Types
Learn the difference between Giclée Fine Art Prints and Digital Prints
High quality reproduction
Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) prints are created using the latest digital printing technology to produce the highest quality fine art reproductions. This method uses archival inks on premium archival paper, resulting in prints that are not only vibrant and detailed but also long-lasting.
Process
My Giclée prints are produced with meticulous attention to detail. Printed with archival quality inks. This ensures every nuance of color and detail from the original is captured perfectly. All my Giclée prints are printed from the renowned experts at theprintspace.
Premium paper
Hahnemühle Photorag
The super matt finish of Hahnemüle Photorag makes this paper one of the most popular papers amongst artists, illustrators & photographers alike. The paper gives muted blacks with even colour reproduction, and excellent detail. The surface has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel which creates smooth colour gradients. It has a delicate surface, so we recommend extra care when handling. This is the standard paper I use on most of my Giclée Prints.

Hahnemühle German Etching
This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of the heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges. I use this paper on all my dark prints.
