American Editions is a Fine Art Giclée Printer, we use the latest technology available to photograph and reproduce your fine art. Giclée prints have the look and feel of an original piece of art: Producing a giclée print is a slow, meticulous process, which requires the skills of a master printer to create museum quality reproductions. The technology calls for special equipment and techniques to get the best color accuracy, sharpness, continuous color tone and artistic interpretation available in art prints today. Because giclée technology allows the image to be stored on disk, the artist has the choice of printing an edition on an "as needed" basis or all at one time. iclée prints offer artists photographers a new way to market their images: Giclées are the wave of the future. They are affordable, particularly compared to lithographs or serigraphs, and giclées can produce more vibrant color on a wider variety of substrates. Printed on watercolor paper, a photographic image takes on a more painterly quality with softer edges and muted tones. Certain photographs reproduced as giclées are mistaken for artwork and many times a giclée reproduction cannot be distinguished from the original.
