All of Genes art works are giclee on canvas

Giclée On Canvas

Like offset lithographs, giclée canvas prints start with an original painting. A transparency or original is scanned into a computer, where it can be color corrected, stored digitally and printed out as needed on an Iris printer. A series of tiny nozzles spray the paper, which is mounted on a rotating drum, with a fine stream of ink-more than four million droplets per second is sprayed onto archival art canvas. Exact calculation of hue, value and density direct the ink from four nozzles. This produces a combination of 512 chromatic changes (with over three million colors possible of highly saturated, non-toxic water-based ink. Since no screens are used in Giclee printing, the prints have a higher resolution than lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy. Even under extreme magnification, these prints are virtually indistinguishable from the original painting. And because they are printed on the same archival canvas that the original was painted on, the impression of originality is even more convincing.
