“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now, the earth was formless and void, darkness covered the face of the deep and the Spirit of the Lord hovered over the waters…”

Giclée Printing
WHAT IS A GICLÉE?
The term, pronounced “zhee-Klay”, is a french word that means a spray of liquid. In the case of a Giclée print, it means “spraying of ink.’ A Giclée is a digital copy of an original artwork, made using very high-resolution digital scans and ink-jet printers that “spray” tiny droplets of archival ink onto fine-art papers and canvas. It is a highly collectable and well-established medium in the fine art world. Today’s professional printers and archival substrates can produce incredibly detailed prints that truly represent the original better than any other means of reproduction.
Mullins Editions uses professional grade ink-jet printers with archival ultrachrome pigmented inks along with archival media to produce the highest quality Giclée prints that, with proper care, have archival characteristics of 150-200 years.
