HOW OUR PRINTS ARE MADE
Our Limited Edition and Custom photographs are giclée prints made with an Epson 9600 inkjet printer on Epson Premium Lustre photographic paper, which has the highest rating for image longevity, estimated at 75 years. This technique results in what are arguably the sharpest, highest-fidelity prints available today.
What is a "Giclée?" (pronounced "jee-Clay")
Giclée is a French term, which means "to spray." It was actually coined by a U.S. company to distinguish the printing process they used (using a highly refined inkjet printer) from a standard offset printing process.
Giclée prints offer the ability to reproduce artwork on a variety of specially treated substrates including canvas, fine art papers and photo papers.
A giclée print must meet certain standards. It must be printed using only archival papers and inks. Otherwise, the artwork would fade and lose its original appeal and value. The Onne van der Wal Gallery only uses the giclée printing process on archival photo paper, 100% cotton watercolor rag paper, and canvas.
