The French word, "giclée" (pronounced "zhee-clay") describes a technique of spraying. It is a term used by the art print industry to define high quality, archival fine art prints created by wide format 8-12 color digital printers. The giclée print has an apparent resolution much greater than a traditional lithographic print and a wider color range than serigraphy. The final product, printed on fine art canvas or archival heavy watercolor paper, has the rich look and texture of an original work of art.

Sattler works closely with experienced master printers to achieve museum quality prints for his collectors. The image is reproduced with the exacting details, subtle nuances, and tone gradations of the original painting. After inspecting each master proof, each subsequent print is numbered and it carries the artist's authorized signature. A certificate of authenticity with Kirby Sattler's hand-signed signature is included with every giclee print.

Long-lasting ultraviolet protection is applied to each Kirby Sattler giclee canvas reproduction. This is a fast-dry, elastic coating that will not turn yellow, oxidize, check, crack or peel. Protects against fading and adds water and abrasion resistance. Under normal lighting conditions, our archival inks last at least 75 years.

As with any piece of fine art, care should be taken to ensure that the prints are not exposed to excessive levels of illumination or extreme changes in environmental conditions.
