Giclée is a limited edition fine art print produced with continuous tone
ink-jet technology on a variety of media. Giclée (French - to splash or to squirt) is an
exciting medium for both artists and photographers because of its
unparalleled quality, and longevity.
Whether producing an original, enhancing an image or reproducing original
art, the Giclée process will render an image of exceptional clarity. Giclée
prints will exceed your greatest expectations
Producing a Giclée print is a slow and meticulous process which requires
the skill of an artist to create museum quality prints. The technology calls
for special equipment and techniques to obtain the best color accuracy,
sharpness, continuous color tone and artistic interpretation available in
fine art prints.
Giclée prints are widely accepted at museums and galleries. Many museums
in the United States and abroad have either mounted exhibitions of Giclée
prints or purchased prints for their permanent collections. These include:
the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Guggenheim (New York), The
Museum of Fine Art (Boston), The Philadelphia Museum, and The Smithsonian
Institute. Additionally, many distinguished photographers and artists, among
them: Thomas Kincaid, Howard Beherens, Simon Bull, James Coleman, Christian Lassen and Wyland produce works that are Giclée printed.
Harvest Productions pioneered the on demand digital printing
process known as Giclée over a decade ago. They are the innovator of the
technology and techniques of paper, canvas and Dibacrome production. Harvest
has joined with other reputable Giclée printers to form the minimum
standard for quality and longevity in Giclée printing.
The standards for Giclée are upheld by the Giclée
Printers Association (G.P.A.). The G.P.A. authorizes the use of the Tru
GicléeTM emblem, which documents
the value given to the products the galleries carry. The Harvest logo
further identifies the unique contribution Harvest makes to quality and
interpretation.
Harvest Production/Tru GicléeTM
emblems can be found in the border of canvas Giclée prints. The Harvest
Productions chop can be found in the bottom margin of each paper print.
When purchasing a reproduction for collectable purposes, it
is important to know the reproduction accurately represents the original
creation. Additionally, the added confidence in the quality and availability
of the piece adds value to the purchaser.
