What is a Giclée print?
Giclée prints are renowned for their quality and extreme longevity, which is why they’re displayed in museums, art galleries and private collections. For proper protection, consider a frame that is FSC certified and created from 100% acid-free materials. It keeps the artwork in mint condition across the years and ensures the colours stay true.
I have all my artworks printed by Ruijgrock Piezografie in Amsterdam. It's a family run business since 1977, they print for many established artists, galleries and museums in The Netherlands and beyond. Their machines, ink and paper are of the best quality available.
How do I take care of my print?
I carefully wrap my prints in protective acid-free tissue paper and bubble plastic before putting them in sturdy cardboard envelopes or postal tubes. If yours is sent in a tube; try to avoid leaving it rolled for too long. To uncurl or flatten a print, carefully remove it from the postal tube whilst keeping it covered in the tissue paper. Lay it out on a clean, flat surface, image side up. With the tissue paper covering the print’s image, place some smooth, flat objects (like books) on the ends and middle of the print. Let your giclée print relax over-night and it should be nice and flat. Avoid uncurling it by rolling the print the opposite way to receiving it, as you can easily crease it if done incorrectly.
