About
Giclées
Wild
Mountain Watercolor Giclées are
printed on high quality watercolor paper by Sharpe
Images using the finest fade-resistant ultraviolet
inks on their state-of-the-art Roland printer. These Giclées
represent Jo's work better than any other medium. They
are limited editions, hand-signed and numbered, and will
last for generations to enjoy.
Giclée (pronounced ZHEE-clay) is a
French term meaning “spray of ink.”
Creating a Giclée print requires the
utmost care and attention on the part of the technician.
The original painting is scanned into a computer with a
high-resolution digital scanner. Color manipulations are
made so the scanned image will be an exact color match
to the original. The image is then sent to a high-tech
specialty inkjet printer.
The printer produces the image by delivering
a fine spray of ink, up to a million micro-droplets per
second. Each droplet is only one quarter of the diameter
of a human hair. This allows for the display of a full
color spectrum and maximum resolution of color density,
resulting in the reproduction of the finest detail and
vibrancy of the artist’s original image. Archival
quality Giclée prints have been shown and accepted
by some of the finest museums and galleries throughout
the world.
Sharpe Images produces canvas Giclées using only
the best quality archival canvas. Our paper Giclées
are produced on the best 100% rag archival media. The edges
are hand-deckled and hand embossed with the Sharpe Images
Seal of Authenticity.
