Our Commitment
In the fall of 2004, my wife & I "adopted" a
Kent family and gave them 15% of the profits
from the sale of Images of Kent prints & note
cards. We have continued this commitment,
& appreciate your support !

The Process
Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) means
"spurt" or "spray" in French. This advanced
ink jet process forces already fine ink
droplets through the print heads to be
dispersed as even finer micromist. Though
often called a "print", each giclée image is
essentially identical to the others in its
edition.
Giclée is a newcomer in the art
marketplace, but is now embraced for its
technical fidelity. Giclée inks are constantly
improved by laser-accelerated aging
experimentation and compatibility testing.
Offset lithography also produces multiples,
but its limitations are crude by comparison
and its resulting images less vivid and not
so archivally sound.
Thanks to computer technology, the giclée
process joins the menu of acceptable
methods for producing high quality archival
reproductions from original art images.
