GicleeMark(c) - Code of Practice

Giclee limited edition art is an excellent way of making accurate art reproductions which can capture the depth of colour and "feel" of the original in a way that litho prints cannot. It is, however, important to ensure that all prints are correctly produced to quality standards to ensure their longevity and continued value.
