How are the Audubon Watercolors produced?
A. The printing process is called Giclée. It is a digital imaging process that allows printing with actual watercolors on an uncoated, high quality, 100% cotton rag watercolor paper imported from England. Giclée printing is becoming increasingly popular because of the high quality results it produces; yet not all Giclée printing is the same. Most Giclée printers do no utilize the same watercolor dyes that Oppenheimer Editions is using with this limited edition of prints. The superior image quality of this particular print edition is due in part to that fact. This unique printing process coupled with the watercolors used to print creates a piece that looks like real watercolors, because in many respects they are just that.
