What is a giclée print?  

A giclée (pronounced "zshee-klay") print is a fine art reproduction with the look and feel of the original painting when created by printmakers skilled in giclée printing.   The giclée printing process captures all the fine detail and subtle color shading of the original painting, giving you the next best thing to the original.  Created on the same kind of acid-free archival paper that Linda uses for her paintings, her giclée prints are often indistinguishable from her originals.

Why a giclée print?

The giclée print is an elevation in printmaking technology.  Using state-of-the-art equipment, images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival-quality pigments onto various substrates including acid-free fine art paper. 

The quality of the giclée print rivals the quality of the traditional print.  Through the tedious process of color matching and the use of light-fast pigments,  the giclée print far surpasses offset reproductions in both color and longevity, giving the giclée print heirloom status. 

The giclée print is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.  As a matter of fact, numerous examples of giclée prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.  Recent auctions of giclée prints have fetched over $20,000 ($22,800 for a Wolfgang Tillmans)!
