Giclee Art Print .... Purple Mermaid

Our selected printer signs for ArtSure, an independent scheme which offers consumers assurance that quality inks and papers have been used to produce a digital print. The scheme also offers traceability of print editions, through a database on the ArtSure section of the Fine Art Trade Guild website.

We use a British printer which has been accredited as a Certified Print Studio by Hahnemühle FineArt. This means they have been audited for experience in preparation, presentation, storage and conservation of prints. Gateway Art Sales actively sought a certified studio for consistent quality in production and archivability of all prints made on Hahnemühle Digital Fine Art media. Our prints are produced to museum quality standards!

Our open edition prints are produced using the giclee technique. The word giclée is based on the French word gicleur, which means "nozzle" (the verb form gicler means "to squirt, spurt, or spray"). Prints are imaged using archival pigment inks for long life. Giclee fine art printing offers one of the highest degree of accuracy and richness of colour available in any of the reproduction techniques. The visual quality of the print result is extremely high with seeming continuous tone prints without dots, lines or barring.

Using the latest imaging equipment and profiling technology with archival quality pigmented inks which are UV stable, the prints offer a lifespan of 100+ years. Printing at 1200 dpi using a 12 colour LUCIA archival pigment ink system gives you superb colour accuracy, excellent colour graduation, expression and accuracy with the broadest colour range in its class.

Each of our fine art giclee open edition prints comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), which is a useful benefits to you, the buyer. The COA carries the signature of the artist and printmaker, information about the image and the edition, the title of the work and the media used. As the buyer you will have confidence that your print was made with care and dedication by skilled technicians using the highest quality materials, whose archival properties comply with museum quality standards.
