Our Commitment
Car Art, Inc. is privileged to see all of our artwork in its original glory. We want you to see it the same way. We are therefore committed to ensuring that you are supplied with the finest quality print available. You can rest assured that the limited edition print you purchase will capture the freshness and vibrancy of the original art. Our Reproduction Process
We use state-of-the-art Giclée (pronounced 'zhee-clay') reproduction, the trademark name for prints produced on Iris-brand printers using continuous ink jet technology. For further details see the Giclée Printers Association website. Internationally renowned artists and museums, such as the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, have had exhibitions using this medium. Tests by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. have shown that a typical Giclée print will withstand 32-36 years of average home or office light exposure before any perceptible fading occurs. This compares very favorably with watercolor paintings and even Cibachromes. Our Scanning Process
Scanning is the first crucial step in creating the finest edition possible. We use the latest technology of high resolution digital scanning to capture the image. A sophisticated color management system allows us to utilize the widest color palette possible. Our Substrate
We use the finest quality canvas and watercolor papers to most faithfully reproduce the vibrant colors in our artwork. Our Printing Process
Each piece of canvas or paper is carefully hand mounted onto the drum of a Tru Giclée printer. These printers produce an apparent resolution of 1800 dots per inch (dpi) while spraying over 1 million droplets per second onto the canvas. There are no screens used with this method of reproduction so there is a smoother look to the final print. The preciseness of the printing along with the depth of color range captures the subtleties and nuances of our original artwork. A trained technician requires just over one hour to create one print. |
