The word Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is French for "to spray" and was given to the method of plate-less fine art printing developed in 1989. It is also the registered trade name for the IRIS printer. Images are scanned and stored digitally then sent to a high-resolution printer. Giclée prints have become renowned world wide due to the super fine resolution of 1800 dpi, (lithographs are printed at 300 dpi) and attention to detail. This technology produces incredible detail and brilliant color. The IRIS printer uses a continuous stream of minute ink droplets to layer the ink onto the watercolor paper or canvas thus creating the look and feel of original fine art.

Museums throughout the world including the Louvre use Giclée prints to substitute works of art too fragile to be exhibited to the public. New York's Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim and the National Museum of Mexico all proudly display Giclées as part of their collections.

Over the past several years the Giclée IRIS printer has gained the respect of artists, graphic designers, photographers and of course the public. Advantages include the ability to order test prints as needed without the hassle of mass production and storage associated with lithography. The Artist can order one Giclée print, matted and framed for a display piece, then print more as orders come in.

The Artist certifies that for each piece of art he will not offer for sale more than 30 (AP) Artist Proofs for each original or reduced print in the specific medium. Each print is numbered and signed by the Artist with a Certificate of Authenticity. The Artist intends to offer future Limited Editions, not Artist Proofs. The size of these Editions for each piece of art will be announced.
