This new printing process produces a print with qualities that are hard to distinguish from the artists original painting. Using computer technology, extremely fine droplets of ink can be transferred to either a heavy water colour paper or artists canvas. Hence the name Glicée which is French for ‘fine spray'.
Whilst conventional printing relys on dot patterns, when you look closely at a Glicée print, the finer technique and heavier ink load shows no dot structure.
Independent testing on the ink and paper combination predicts a life of 85 to 90 years indoors without any noticeable fading. |
