The 15th day of the first month of the year or the Camellia


FLOATING FRAME PRESENTATIONS


This is a glicee fine art photographic print presented on a floating frame. The image is printed digitally on an Epson machine using Epson papers and inks. The print has been sprayed with a UV protectorate and finally with a Poly coating which helps to eliminate scratching.


Furthermore, the print can be lightly washed with a damp cloth for cleaning.
Who would have thought…a washable fine art photograph!

“The term ‘Glicee’ was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial ‘Iris proofs’ from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s. The term has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such high quality prints.” (This definition was quoted from Wikipedia)

These vary in size from 4.25x7" up to 13x18". The depth of the black border is 1.625” which allows the print to stand away from your wall by that amount. Thus, the image appears to be floating. Mounting to the wall could not be easier…simply place two small nails on a level plain and the frame will hang forever. The accompanying image was taken on an angle to show the side of the frame. The is no mat or glass so shipping is easy and hanging is even easier. Just two nails on a level plane and they will hang forever. And finally, buying is even easier. Just email and use my website to choose your images.
