The Giclée Art Print - Vanitas I

• 200 GSM
• matte, velvety fine art paper
• Archival - 100 years, 200 in dark storage.
• Digitally signed on the front

High-quality, vibrant print reproductions of my work, printed on luxurious velvet matte paper.

The Giclée printing process results in stunning images, full of exquisite and luxurious detail. With seven dye-based inks (which offer a vast range of colors), this process retains even the finest elements of a given artwork. Since my photographs incorporate ample darkness and a high level of detail, Giclée printing ensures that even the smallest, shadowy details are captured.

Giclée has become a beloved choice for both artists and art collectors due to its exceptional quality and longevity while offering a lower price point.

To safeguard the beauty of your Giclée prints for years to come, a few essential guidelines can make a world of difference. If you are looking for a print that doesn't need framing, check out my Posters  & Stationery

Ensure proper handling

• Please keep your new print in the plastic sleeve until you are ready to frame. The beautiful velvet matte surface is a magnet for dust and will become damaged in a short time if displayed without protection.
• The sleeve and backing board that your print arrives in are made of acid-free, photo-safe materials and are the ideal place for your print to live before framing.
• Handle with clean, dry hands and avoid direct contact with the surface. Gloves can be a valuable ally in preventing smudges and fingerprints.
• Be careful of water, hard objects, and adhesives as these can damage and scratch the surface of your print.

Consider the ideal display location

• Display wisely: Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.
• Choose a spot away from high humidity and high temperatures, as excessive moisture or heat can cause warping or discoloration.
• Framing your Giclée print with acid-free matting and UV-protective glass adds an extra layer of defense, shielding it from harmful elements.
