Print Info

Printed using the Gouttelette process.

Printed onto the highest quality archival substrates and using only very specialised inks. Gouttelette prints have the remarkable colour saturation and continuous tone characteristics one would expect of an original painting. In fact, with an apparent visual resolution of over 1800 dpi (dots per inch), distinguishing a gouttelette from an original can be very difficult, even to the expert eye.

Gouttelettes are generally printed onto acid-free calcium carbonate-buffered archival watercolour paper. On light-fastness, the ink and paper combinations generally used meet the standards of both the Fine Art Trade Guild's blue wool scale and those of Wilhelm Imaging Research in America.

And, leaving aside the technical specification, the quality of the print is fantastic!
