About Imagianation Prints

Giclée... Yes! But to clarify, so is everything printed on an inkjet printer....
Artists and galleries like the term 'Giclée Print' because it sounds more artistic than boring 'inkjet print'!
But actually, that is all the term means, though it tends to refer to better quality printers. To quote Wikipedia:

The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning
"to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.

Ian Maclean has been a photographer nearly all his life, winning his first prize in 1969.
He is now using his skills to create state of the art Canvas and Paper prints.
His exceptional skills have been developed from both technical and artistic roots, from a lifetime of
experience of photography and graphic design, a Physics degree and professional computer skills.
This combination of artistic awarenss and technical knowledge makes his prints among the best you can buy.

Our printer is an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 using 11 inks, uniquely including orange and green, not found on any other printer.
These bring a greater richness to subjects such as sunsets and landscapes than all other printers, which use
only the usual variations of cyan, magenta, yellow. and black.

The inks in this model of printer are claimed to last 200 years. Scientific tests have shown that
at least 86 years is genuine before any sign of fading shows.
