Hot Summer Classic

January 18, 1999

Tom Chapman is producing Giclee prints of "The Walk Home After the Last" and "Yearlings First Winter". The prints will be signed and numbered editions of 50-100 and printed on canvas. The sizes will be the same size as the original paintings. We will update the web site as to when they will be ready for purchase and pricing, etc.

What is a Giclee Print?

Giclee (zheeclay) is a French term which in this case means "spray of ink". An Iris ink jet print on watercolor paper or canvas is known as a Giclee. It is a relatively new technology. The cornerstone of the process is the enhanced Iris 3047 digital ink jet printers which have been specifically modified for fine art precision. The printers use a continuous tone technology in which infinitely small pixels of color are capable of rendering an amazingly smooth and consistent image. The substrate to be printed on is affixed to a drum and as the drum rotates at a high speed, individual droplets of colors are sprayed onto the surface at a rate of 4-5 million droplets per second. Once completed a 34" x 46" image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of ink, each one measuring no more than 15 microns in diameter. In this process, we use the most archival water-based organic inks available in the world. We then complete the print by applying UV light retardant and light stabilizer post-coatings. The results are museum-quality prints. These prints are hard to distinguish from the original paintings. They can also be painted on after they have been printed to give each one it's own distinctiveness.
