Now In: Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Artist's Proof?
An Artist's Proof is usually the first 10 percent of the regular edition size.  If the edition size is 950 then the Artist Proofs editions would be only 95.

What is a Giclee?
Giclee is a French term meaning "spraying of ink."  Printing directly from information obtained from the original painting, Iris printers spray microscopic drops of color on to a fine art paper on canvas.  Displaying the full color spectrum, these artworks have vibrant colors and a velvety texture.

What is a Giclee?
Serigraphy utilizes the silk-screen printing process. For each desired color, a stencil is created indicating where the color will be applied. Then the stencil is adhered to a silk or nylon mesh screen, and paint of that color is forced through the screen on to the paper. This process creates a luxurious, vibrant and often-textured image.

What is an Offset Lithograph?
Offset Lithography is the process of taking an original piece of art and separating the colors using a scanner of digital camera which feeds the image directly onto a computer.  Using this information and utilizing the photo offset printing process the press recreates all the colors in the original artwork.  Additional tints or touch plates may be added to produce a print that is an exact match to the original painting.

Will Limited Editions Increase in Value?
The value of a limited edition print is unpredictable and based upon the public's demand for this image.  Since it is a limited edition and only so many prints will be sold, when the print is sold out the value may increase if additional people desire to purchase it.  Limited editions and all other artwork should be purchased because you love it and want to enjoy it everyday.  If a print increases in value, then you have an added bonus.

What is the Secondary Market?
Secondary Market is one source for obtaining prints or canvases after the edition is sold out from the publisher. The value and availability are based upon supply and demand. The secondary market can be extremely unpredictable as price is determined by the value of the print to the individual consumer and may differ from one geographic area to another.
