How do we achieve such high quality wedding stationery?

Our stationery is created from high-resolution digital images scanned directly from original paintings using the best quality ink and specially coated card available. This results in colour saturation and graphic detail that exceeds most other types of image reproduction.
The process we use is call Giclée. The word 'Giclée' (pronounced Gee'clay) is French and means to squirt or spray. Because of this new technology conventional screens are not required and therefore you will not be able to identify the usual annoying dot pattern associated with traditional reprographics. This new approach to fine-art printing also means that the whole range of tones and hues from the original painting can be reproduced. Add this to the fact that Giclée can be printed on virtually any surface from high-gloss flat surface, to watercolour or canvas and you will appreciate the fact that we can bring you a print that almost exactly mirrors the original!.
Even museums have realized the vast potential of this technology and have made Giclée editions a permanent part of their collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) to name a few.

Why do we use Giclée?

Apart from the vastly improved reproduction of our artwork as discussed above, this technique also means that all orders are generally executed on the day received and the printing process and quality control is carried out and assessed by the only person eligible - the artist him/herself!
