Want to make a million a
year as a painter? Do
Giclee Prints. Do you two know what this is?
The Giclee technique is not a screen print, as no silk screens are
involved.
The prints therefore have a higher resolution then Lithographs. It
is a
sophisticated, fine art production, utilizing the _digital printer's_
highest resolution. The dynamic color range is similar to a
serigraph.
In the Giclee process, a fine stream of ink, with more then 4
million
droplets per second, is sprayed into actual canvas. The results is
similar to, but much finer than an Air Brush technique. Each
canvas is
carefully hand mounted on a drum that rotates during the printing
process. Exact calculations of hue, value and density direct the
four-inked nozzles. The method created a combination of 512
chromatic
changes resulting in over three million possible colors of highly
saturated, nontoxic water-based inks. The process offers a
protective
coating to ensure quality standards for the discriminating art
collector.

Artists use them to create big prints, 4 x 5 feet even. How can a
digital printer do this? Must be some factory sized printer.
YUROZ a modern artist, does a lot of GICLEES. He is a modern
Picasso, as he is a one man factory and makes a great deal of $$
MANY
GALLERIES represent
his work.
