A Fine Art, or Giclee, Reproduction is created by first having an art capture specialist copy my artwork to create the perfect digital file capable of printing it to almost any size you need without losing any quality.
Then, I work with my Master Printer to choose the ideal Cotton Rag Art paper or Canvas to bring out the best in your Reproduction. The colours are checked by me and the Master Printer ensures that through world standard colour calibration and profiling, each reproduction, regardless of when it is printed, will match the very first one.
There is a distinct difference between a print and a reproduction and it has to do with who creates the final product and how it is made. In the art world, Prints are made personally by the artist, by hand as lithographs, linocuts, serigraphs etc. These come typically in limited editions only because the elements used to create them degrade over time and can no longer be produced exactly the same.
A reproduction is created from a digital file and printed on a high quality inkjet printer by a Master Printer using the best archival inks and media to produce an almost perfect replica of the original artwork, time after time for open editions or until a limited edition is sold out.
A limited edition Reproduction is offered in limited numbers. When the listed number for a Limited Edition Reproduction is reached, the edition is sold out and is no longer available for printing. The only exception to this is the event where an existing reproduction is damaged and needs to be replaced under the terms of my warranty.
All of my Fine Art/Giclee Limited Edition Reproductions are covered by a Lifetime Warranty.
If ANYTHING should happen to your reproduction I will replace it for 50% of its current price (plus return freight) provided the reproduction is returned to me and while I have the original digital file in my possession.
This warranty applies to any Limited Edition reproduction supplied by me or any outlet the work has been sold through.
This is a replacement warranty and only applies if the damaged piece can be returned to me. It does not cover total loss, speak to your insurance company in this case.
Orders are packaged and shipped with great care. All unframed Fine Art Reproductions are shipped rolled in acid free cellophane and are placed in a protective tube for shipping via Australia Post. I recommend you contact your local professional framer for advice on framing for best results.
If you have ordered a framed paper reproduction, or stretched canvas, it will arrive well-packaged in a custom carton, ready to hang once unpacked.
All reproductions are proofed and approved by me to ensure a match to the original artwork as closely as humanly possible. Monitors across the world vary in the way they show colours, as do the browsers you use to view them (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc). It is quite likely that the printed image will look a little different to what you see on your monitor, but rest assured, the printed image is a true likeness of the original artwork.
A ready to hang canvas painting or reproduction comes finished on a stretcher frame. This is where the artwork is wrapped around the edge of a timber stretcher frame and a hanging wire is attached to the back. All you need to do is provide a suitable hanging hook on the wall.
In the case of a canvas reproduction, when supplied unframed, it comes with a 55mm additional border to allow for stretching at your local framer. Most canvas reproductions come with what we call a “Mirror Wrap”. It is a great look for the artwork and allows the image to continue around the sides of the stretcher without losing any of the original image.
