For my reproductions, I use one of the most advanced giclée printers in the Northwest, Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction (www.bellevuefineart.com). This company uses a very-high-resolution 4”x5” scanning-back camera, with precisely calibrated equipment to ensure that the lens and the artwork are at perfect right angles, along with special full-spectrum lighting, and polarizing panels and lenses, to accurately capture the colors in artwork. Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction also uses the most advanced printers and highest-quality archival papers, inks, and canvas. Canvas prints are protected with an ultraviolet-proof coating. My prints on canvas are mounted on high-quality, durable, but lightweight wooden stretchers, and they can be hung with or without additional frames.

What is giclée?
Giclée (pronounced “zhee-klay”) is a printing process that uses very high-end bubble jet technology to reproduce fine art graphics. The first giclée printers were produced by Iris Graphics in the 1980s, and they were first used for commercial print proofing. Nash Editions in California saw the new machines’ potential for reproducing fine art prints. Since then, many improvements have been made in the printing accuracy and ink longevity. Leading printer manufacturers such as Epson, HP, Mimak, and Roland have spent millions of dollars perfecting the ink technology, creating archival inks to assure rich color and longevity.
