GicléePrinting
In order to provide the best quality for art prints, Posteress runs her own Giclée printing with HP's flagship Giclée printer and Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. Each poster is hand-printed with personal quality control over the process and final product.
Giclée Printing
Giclée printing (from French gicler, meaning to spray) is the name for high-end inkjet printing using pigment-based archival inks. This dramatically increases the art prints' longevity, their colour variety and ultimate quality which matches the strictest museum requirements.
Posteress prints all her poster art on a HP's newest DesignJet Z9+, one of the best printers in the highest league of printing. Its 2400 nozzle-per-inch high-definition printheads deliver stunning results in terms of colour and sharpness. The printer has vertical and horizontal trimmers that cut your poster perfectly on all sides.
Each poster is hand-printed, signed, numbered and packed by the artist.

Packaging
The posters are protected with silk tissue paper and shipped in triangular single corrugated cardboard tubes. These tubes have strong corners that are shock resistant and prevent your rolled-up posters from getting creased. The tube's triangular shape also makes it very easy and safe to take out the poster. The packaging is 100% recyclable.
With every order, Posteress provides a set of cotton gloves for the unpacking and handling of the poster.
