Giclée printing is a high-quality fine-art printing process used to reproduce original paintings with exceptional colour, detail and tonal range.
English
Fine Art Reproduction
Giclée is one of the highest-quality methods available for producing fine-art prints from an original painting. The process combines careful digital capture of the artwork, precise colour management and specialist high-resolution printing.
The aim is not simply to make a copy, but to reproduce as closely as possible the colours, tones, textures and atmosphere of the original painting.
The quality of a giclée print depends on every stage of the process, including the photography or scanning of the original, colour correction, the inks used, the printing equipment and the quality of the canvas or fine-art paper.

What Makes a Quality Giclée Print?
A well-produced print should retain the character of the original work rather than simply reproducing its basic image.
Colour Accuracy
Careful colour management helps reproduce the subtle variations, contrasts and tones found in the original painting.
Fine Detail
High-resolution printing can retain very small details, gradations and areas of complex colour that are important to Daniel's paintings.
Artist-Quality Materials
Specialist pigment inks together with quality fine-art canvas or paper are used to produce a print intended for long-term display.
Close to the Original
The intention is to preserve as much as possible of the visual experience of the original artwork, including its depth, atmosphere and colour relationships.
Printing in Mexico
Daniel's giclée reproductions are produced in collaboration with Juan Carlos Lopez in Guadalajara, Mexico, who specialises in fine-art reproduction and works with professional artists. Producing an accurate print is a skilled process in its own right, particularly when reproducing paintings with complex colour, texture and tonal variation.
Caring for a fine-art print: as with an original painting, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture and extreme changes in temperature. Correct framing and sensible display conditions will help protect the print over time.
