About The Prints
What is a giclée print?
A giclée print is a high-quality reproduction of artwork made using inkjet printing technology. It uses archival pigment inks and fine art paper, ensuring long-lasting color and detail, making it ideal for collectors.
How is a giclée print different from a regular print?
Unlike standard prints, giclée prints are made using archival-grade inks and high-resolution printing technology. This ensures better color accuracy, longevity, and a professional finish, similar to the original artwork.
How long do giclée prints last?
With proper care, giclée prints can last between 100 to 200 years without significant fading, depending on environmental conditions. Using museum-grade paper and archival inks, they are designed for longevity.
Refer to Care & Maintenance for some tips.
What type of paper do you use for your prints?
We print our giclées on high-quality fine art paper.
Top of the line Hahnemühle Museum Etching 350gsm for our Limited Editions and Hahnemühle 200gsm for our Open Editions.
Both provide a durable, vibrant surface.
The soft texture is pleasant to the eye and was chosen to enhance the look of the work.
How do you make your prints?
As of 2024, all of our prints are made in-house by me. We chose this option to ensure the highest quality. This way we can do rigorous testing until we get the print just right.
We make sure that every print is absolutely pitch perfect before we ship it.
Care & Maintenance
How should I care for my giclée print?
To maintain the longevity of your print:
- Handle with clean, dry hands or wear cotton gloves.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity.
- Frame the print with UV-protective glass or acrylic and use acid-free matting.
How should I frame my print?
It’s recommended to use archival-quality, acid-free materials when framing to further protect the print. UV-protective glass or acrylic is also ideal to prevent fading. Make sure that a border is left around the print in order to not cover the signature.

Certificate of Authenticity
Do the prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes.
Each Limited Edition comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), authenticated by matching serial numbers on the COA and on the print. This ensures that the print is genuine and part of its limited run.
What does the certificate prove?
Coming soon.
How should I store the certificate?
Coming soon.
Can I transfer the JSON token?
No, while JSON Web Token is the technical name for the cryprographic certificate on your artwork, and people think of ‘Tokens’ as NFTS, this is simply a signed message, not something you can transfer.
This is by design.
