about your order


     The quality and handling of your order is of utmost importance to me. Under the hands-on supervision of my printing team, archival paper is carefully selected based on its absorption qualities and textures.
     The image is then generated from a high-resolution digital scan and printed with archival quality inks - to achieve a reproduction that preserves the precision and detail of the original graphite drawing. The result is vastly superior to other methods of art reproduction.

about giclée printing


     Giclée (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".
     The term "giclée print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
     Giclée prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. Giclée prints are sometimes mistakenly referred to as Iris prints, which are 4-Color ink-jet prints from a printer pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.
     The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
     Numerous examples of giclée prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. Recent auctions of giclée prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and $22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans.

       In the long established tradition of printmaking, an artist creates an original "plate" on either a sheet of metal or on a large flat stone. When the artist has finished creating the image, the image is chemically etched into the metal or stone and is put through a printing press. The plate is covered with ink, and paper is pressed with great pressure onto the plate to create a direct impression. These processes (Intaglio and Lithography), result in an 'original piece of art' because the print has made direct contact with the plate created by the artist's own hand. Thus, original Intaglio or Lithographic prints in signed, numbered editions have great value, because they are indeed "limited." Why? The process always ends with the original plate being destroyed, which insures that the prints pulled in that edition will forever be the only prints made of that particular image.
      This is not the case with digital printing. The original is never actually destroyed, because the original is simply a digital scan made of 0's and 1's. This is why my prints will never be sold as "limited editions" or numbered.
      In other words, my digital prints are effectively 'posters' of my art: 'posters' of astounding state-of-the-art quality, suitable for framing.
      However, hand-signed/autographed Greg Scott prints (at a higher price) are available to you. Why? The future value of that digital print might rise simply because it is "autographed by the artist," making that print more valuable than an unsigned one.
      Also, a Certificate of Authenticity is provided to you when you purchase an autographed print.
