Giclee print?

What are Frickers ‘Heritage prints? 

Frickers, G S A

The quality is so remarkable people will often touch the unframed prints as if to re assure themselves and ask ‘is it an original?’

If you like the best you have found it here.

Buckingham Palace wrote to me:

While British royalty does not endorse products, “the Princess was delighted to receive this beautiful picture“, (“I have Urgent dispatches“) “The Princess was over the moon” wrote our contact.

Princess Anne was presented with a large size print No 1, >I Have Urgent Dispatches< by the officers of HMS Seahawk Mess, RNAS Culdrose.

You may know, usually only original paintings are given to Royalty.

A Question to our printer Alan Tooze has a life time of experience in the print industry and is passionate about his work, and very high tech.

His reply may be of interest to you and your people.

Q. What is a Prestige canvas print?
A. Also called a Giclée print (comes from the French word meaning literally ‘to squirt’); this refers to the process in which the ink is laid down on the paper.
Giclée is the name commonly given to an inkjet limited edition reproduction of an artwork, photograph or digitally created work.
We now print on archival grade artist’s quality coated canvas, with HP Vivera pigment inks offering a lifespan of up to 200 years, using an HP Z6100 eight colour printer.We previously used a seven colour Epson 9600 with Ultrachrome inks rated at up to 75 years.
Q. How long do canvas prints last?
A. This will depend totally on where they will be used.
Exposure to UV light (daylight, especially sunlight) will cause ALL inks to fade eventually.
Prints in bright rooms or in front of windows will fade sooner than those in controlled conditions such as galleries and museums where there is little or no daylight.However as a guide: we use HP Vivera pigment inks which can last up to 200 years.Pigmented ink is made from natural, mineral and biological material mixed with resin, producing a colour more fade and water resistant then traditional ink or dye.
Archival pigment inks are made from 100 percent pigment in a fine micro-dispersion sprayed through a fine inkjet print head.
This process allows a large amount and intensity of colour to be applied.
Archival pigmented ink is used in Giclee printing because digital printing process and fade resistance is a concern when printing digitally.
This new technology eliminates problems with traditional print reproduction methods of colour longevity.

The high resolution standards of Giclée printers can repeat original artwork faithfully without any visible dot patterns.
True Giclée is reproduced on stretchable canvas or watercolour paper.
The artist, working along with the printer, produces a print that is now a new art form.
