New Giclee Prints

Andy Weber (www.andyweberstudios.co.uk) is back again at Abacus to have his most recent painting Avalokitsvara set up as a Giclee print for a limited edition. This flexible original painting is first scanned on our drum scanner. Why? Simply because drum scanners which are very expensive pieces of equipment, produce the finest, most accurate digital colour separations of the original painting. This is the best possible starting point from which all Giclee prints should originate as every nuance of every colour and tone is held - detail of which is not obtained as accurately by digital photography.
Once the scans are sent to Sarah, our dedicated Giclee artist, they are colour corrected against the original and a proof is printed on our Mutoh printer with pigmented inks.
Andy then returns to our Giclee studio to pass the printed Giclee proof against his original painting. Only then can the edition of prints be printed from the stored digital file.
Andy usually has a few Giclee prints initially printed, returning when the Giclee prints are sold to replenish his stock. This means he does not have to store large quantities of prints and of course there is no large financial outlay.
Andy’s entire Giclee print collection can be viewed on his new website www.andyweberstudios.com.
together with his extensive range of postcards, all can be ordered online.
