Giclée - pronounced "zhee-clay" - French for "that which is sprayed," is the term commonly used for the world's most advanced digital fine art printmaking process. My Giclée prints are high quality reproductions of original oil paintings.

Hunter Editions uses Roland Giclée printers for the canvas printing. The Roland printer uses six highly stable color pigments, offering permanence characteristics of 100+ years and an extended tonal range.

Typically the process begins with a direct digital capture of an original work of art. The image is then downloaded onto a computer, and brought up on a high-resolution monitor.  Using sophisticated graphics software, any necessary adjustments are made. A series of proofs are then created to help fine-tune the image in preparation for the final printing. The color available for Giclée processing is limited only by the color gamut of the inks themselves. Therefore, literally millions of colors are available to show essentially a continuous tone print with every color and tonal nuance.

The result is a beautiful, archival Giclee’ print on canvas which accurately reproduces the visual aesthetics of the original oil painting and befits the definition of fine art in every  way.
