• PRINT QUALITY

– Fine Art Prints are hand signed, titled, captioned (if available), dated and stamped by me at the back.
– Each print is printed on premium Hahnemühle FINE ART PhotoRag or Barita Archival Paper.
– Each print is sprayed with a double layer of acid free protective film specially developed for Giclée Fine Art Prints.
– Each print is printed using the best Carbon Pigmented Inks and techniques available on the market at the time of printing and capable of producing an extremely wide tonal range and colour gamut. Guaranteed over 150 years in right conditions (prints must not be exposed to rain, liquids, direct heat, strong humidity or unusual/extreme weathering/conditions).

ONLY FOR LE and UC (Limited Edition – Unique Copy):
– Each LE/UC print is printed on premium Hahnemühle FINE ART Archival Paper of the highest quality.
– Each LE/UC print comes with a Hahnemühle Certificate of Quality/Authenticity with Hologram System to certify the paper quality and print process used.
– Each LE/UC print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity & Personalized Hologram System designed specifically for me.

– When a LE/UC print reaches its limit number, all prints are discontinued for that format.

PERSONALIZED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: THE ARTWORK

My Giclée Fine Art Prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity & Personalized Hologram System designed specifically for the Author.

It is very important to understand that to make the Artwork truly unique and certified, a certificate+hologram from the author is a must. This is a process that neither the paper company nor the printer can and should do! They can certify the printing process and its quality, but not the uniqueness of the Artwork which can only be certified by the person who has created it. For this reason I had a specialized company produce a unique, personalized and serialized Hologram System just for my Artwork. For each print exists a unique hologram (2 copies identically numbered). One copy will be applied to the certificate and the second copy will go to the back of the artwork. I believe this will eliminate any risk of illegal and unauthorized reproduction.

HAHNEMÜHLE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: PAPER & PRINT QUALITY

My Giclée Fine Art Prints come with a Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity & Hologram System (for more info click here).

This certificate was designed to protect the security and genuineness of limited edition artworks and reproductions on Hahnemühle paper. The combination of certificate and serialized numbered holograms – one applied to the certificate and a second one (identically numbered) applied to the reverse side of the artwork – assures that each Certificate of Authenticity relates to one particular piece of art and certifies the production process.
