A number of prints are now available to purchase. These are archival quality Giclée prints. This results in excellent colour matching using light fast inks. The manufacturers guarantee that the colours will remain true for up to 25 years, indoors in indirect sunlight. It is a water-based ink, and it is strongly recommended that your prints are framed under glass for protection. For your convenience, wherever possible, prints have been sized to fit standard IKEA frames allowing a border to show the artist’s signature and title of the work.

In Giclée printing, no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern, and the image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting. And because they are printed on canvas, they have the look and feel of an original. They are more expensive to produce, but the quality is superb.

Giclée (pronounced Jee,clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer prints. However, it is not the same as standard desktop inkjet printing onto plain paper and bears no resemblance to colour photocopying. Specialist digital printers are producing Giclée prints of the utmost calibre that are now appearing in the finest galleries and museums because they are archival.

All printing is done locally by Newton Press, of Newton Aycliffe, Co. Durham, who have invested in the finest drum and flatbed scanners available, as well as the highest quality Giclée printers. ( www.newtonpress.uk.com ).

Prints are priced unframed, wrapped in acid free tissue and mailed in sturdy mailing tubes or hard backed envelopes. A number of smaller prints have been made also - an excellent way to view the original. To order, please email denise@visual-healing-arts.co.uk.
