About Giclees

Superior Reproductions

The Giclee digital reproduction process used for Bart Forbes' prints is an absolute state of the art print-making medium. Fine art Giclee reproductions are owned and exhibited by museums. Unlike the dot pattern lithographs of yesterday, Giclee ink colors are virtually identical to those of the original oil paints and blend seamlessly making the reproduction on canvas so accurate that it takes a trained eye to differentiate between copy and original

Size Flexibility

The Giclee process has the added advantage of being able to vary the size of the print without altering the quality, allowing the customer to order the perfect size for a particular location up to a maximum of 72" wide and up to 180" long depending upon the proportions of the image. Each print is individually made to your specifications. Contact us about custom sizes and prices.
