Giclée Atelier
Twelve pigment inks at 1200 dpi on Hahnemühle rag, hand-bound in a clamshell.
This is the process galleries and print-makers use, applied to a book. Twelve pigment inks — including three greys and two dedicated blacks — are sprayed at 1200 dpi onto 308 gsm Hahnemühle cotton rag. The extra greys are what stop monochrome work going flat or picking up a colour cast, and the gamut reaches saturated reds and deep blues that a four-colour press simply cannot reproduce. It is bound by hand in goatskin, housed in a clamshell box, and it is the most expensive thing we make by a wide margin. Most people should not buy it. For the book that has to be definitive, nothing else we offer comes close.
Giclée, 12-ink pigment — 1200 dpi. Twelve pigment inks sprayed at 1200 dpi onto cotton rag, including three greys and two blacks. The widest colour range and the deepest blacks we can produce, and the process galleries print with. Compare the three processes
