Our Commitment
In the fall of 2004, my wife & I "adopted" a
Kent family and gave them 15-20% of the
profits from the sale of Images of Kent prints
& note cards. We will continue 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.
