All prints are made individually by the artist from original color transparencies, black-and-white negatives, or digital negatives as the case may be. Each one, utilizing the giclée printmaking process, is indeed an original work of art signed by Tom Zimberoff. It is then mounted and matted on acid-free, museum-conservation board to archival specifications. (It means they will outlive you.)
Matte sizes conform at the outside edge to measurements of 11 x 14, 16 x 20, and 20 x 24 inches respectively for the print sizes listed above.
What is a Giclée Print?
Pronounced "zhee-klay," the French word giclée refers to a minute and precise spray of liquid from a technologically advanced ink-jet nozzle. The word is probably derived from the French verb gicler meaning to squirt.
The giclée method has raised the bar for printmaking technology. Images are generated from ultra-sharp-resolution digital scans (even from images captured on film) and printed with extremely stable and long-lasting inks onto various substrates including canvas and various kinds of fine-art papers, as well as the conventional photo-rag paper you will find here. The giclée printmaking process provides not only better color accuracy than traditional methods but also a greater tonal range for black-and-white images.
Giclee prints are created using professional equipment capable of incredibly fine detail. As many as nine separate colors of ink and as many nozzles spraying microscopically accurate droplets onto the substrate are employed—even for black-and-white. Giclee prints are sometimes referred to mistakenly as "Iris" prints, which are 4-Color ink-jet prints from a device pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.
The quality of giclée prints rivals and sometimes surpasses that of traditional silver-halide, gelatin prints and color dye-sublimation prints (commonly referred to as “wet prints” made in a darkroom). Today, giclée prints are commonly found in art museums and galleries.
