Our giclee prints use an archival 12-colour system (compared to traditional 4 colour CMYK) which gives incredibly vibrant colours with razor- sharpness and outstanding longevity.

HAND-PULLED ORIGINAL ETCHING

PAPER: 300gsm Hahnemuhle, velvet surface, heavyweight fine art paper.

"Etching" refers to the etched metal printing plate used to print the image: the design is literally burned into the plate using acid. This is a very laborious and extremely skilled process. The etched plate is then run through an etching press in contact with a sheet of damp paper. The pres exterts thousands of pounds of pressure onto the plate, squeezing the ink from the etched surface and onto the paper. It also physically embosses the shape of the plate into the paper.

MONOPRINT: UNIQUE. This was made by inking a blank printing plate and removing the ink selectively to create the image, which is in soft black. The plate is then run though an etching press in contact with wet paper. Under the pressure of thousands of pounds, the ink transfers from the plate to the paper, leaving the plate blank. Only one print can be produced, hence "mono" print, sometimes called a monotype.

PAPER: 50 X 70cm, 300 gsm cartridge.

EDITION: Monoprint, 1 of 1 / unique.

SIGNATURE: signed and titled in pencil in the margin.
