About Archival Printing giclée

Each work of art is crafted using a digital printmaking process. Adobe Photoshop with ArtMatic Pro or Art Rage Pro are the applications of preference. The artworks are created as limited editions using archival inks and hand made water color papers selected by the artist. With respect to the new laminated Lambda prints, the printed substrate is a Fuji Flex polyester base material.

This print will be made on an Epson pigmented ink jet printer. The printer sprays pigmented ink through fine nozzles to create a rich, smooth and detailed image. The inks are water resistant. Most work is printed on American hand made papers manufactured by Entrata.

Epson ink jet prints on Entrata paper have a projected life of up to one hundred years. Other conditions will affect longevity. The prints should be treated like a fine watercolor original and therefore the prints should be framed under glass using archival materials. All prints are sensitive to surface scratching. All prints should be stored flat in archival papers and wrappings. When you unpack your prints tape back the glassine envelope flap to avoid damage to the print surface while removing.
