The French word, "giclée" (pronounced "zhee-clay") describes a technique of spraying, a term that has been accepted by the art print industry to define high quality, archival fine art prints created by wide format Digital Printers.

The giclée print has an apparent resolution much greater than a traditional lithographic print and a wider color range than serigraphy. The final product printed on fine art canvas or archival heavy watercolor paper has the rich look and texture of an original work of art. Sattler works closely with the experienced master printers to achieve museum quality prints for his collectors. The image is reproduced with the exacting details, subtle nuances and the gradations of tones of the original painting.

After inspecting each print the artist signs and numbers each print. A certificate of authenticity is included with the print. As with any piece of fine art, care should be taken to ensure that the prints are not exposed to excessive levels of illumination or extreme changes in environmental conditions.
