Prints

Toby Hodson uses the Giclee method of printing to create the highest quality prints, remaining as true to the original as possible. Each piece is printed on 140lb Somerset Velvet, a paper made by St Cuthberts Mill, England. It is a mold-made, 100% cotton, acid-free paper.

Giclee is particularly suited to reproducing fine art watercolours, creating prints that are almost indistinguishable from the original in definition and richness of color. The painting to be printed is digitally photographed producing a large computer file (200Mb). This file is then matched to the original painting and adjusted so that it will produce a true image on the Somerset Velvet paper. The word Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) comes from the French verb "to spray" and refers to the fine stream of inks sprayed to form the image. The effect is similar to an air brush technique, but much finer. More than four million droplets per second are discharged through the printer heads.

Toby Hodson prints range in price from 200-1200 Euros.
