giclée limited edition prints

What is Giclée?

The Giclée printmaking process does not use copper or aluminum plates like the traditional lithographic printing process, instead the image is sprayed onto the paper at the rate of one million droplets of ink per second giving an apparent visual resolution of over 1800 dpi (dots per inch).

This technique, although slow, produces prints that are rich in colour, with a flawless velvety texture that matches the feel of the original.

Print Quality

Printed onto the highest quality acid-free archival watercolour paper, similar to that Anna uses for the originals, and using only very specialised inks, the prints have the remarkable colour saturation and continuous tone characteristics one would expect of an original painting. In fact, distinguishing one from an original can be very difficult, even to the expert eye.

On light-fastness, the ink and paper combinations used meet the standards of both the Fine Art Trade Guild's blue wool scale and those of Wilhelm Imaging Research in America.  The printer is a member of the Fine Art Trade Guild.

Anna’s artwork is available as high quality Giclée prints. Each print is part of a limited edition and is individually signed by Anna. The editions are kept small, some as low as 20, making them more exclusive and collectable.
