Fine Art Prints

Everything you need to know about our fine art prints.
What is a giclee print?
All Peter Pharoah giclee art prints are produced in-house on artist quality primed canvas using the finest archival inks currently available.

We produce a high quality inkjet print that allows for a greater complexity of colour and tone. The term 'giclee' is often applied to inkjet reproductions of artworks that were originally produced in another medium.

Giclee prints are generally a combination of dye sublimation and ink jet printing producing a non-impact computer-controlled reproduction in which tiny droplets of ink are projected from nozzles onto the canvas. The result is rich in colour with limited loss of detail and a durable print that in the right conditions will endure for many years.

How long will my print last?
We are committed to providing you with the highest quality prints possible. When giclee printing was first introduced, the longevity of the inks left something to be desired. In the past decade there have been huge advancements in print longevity due to the the extended permanence of the inks available. We have kept up with these advances every step of the way. All our prints are produced on high quality primed canvas using archival inks and are varnished with a industry specific UV varnish.

The term “archival” is one of the most abused within the inkjet printing industry. It has come to mean that the base product is both acid and lignum free (<1%), a fact guaranteed by the majority of cotton and cotton/polyester base products.

Virtually all canvas products sold by reputable makers for inkjet reproduction are archival by the above definition, yet their makers know that virtually none of them will survive more than 70 years without noticeable fading unless they are liquid laminated or covered by UV protecting glass.

So, the general consensus is that a canvas needs to be laminated or framed with UV protected glass to last longer than you will.

Do you need it to last that long?
Knowing this information, you need to ask yourself how long you actually want the print to last. There will be unavoidable extra costs to frame and laminate your prints, so is it worth it?

The Godfather
Until you've encountered a Dagga Boy charging towards you in real life, you may be forgiven for wondering why this bovine creature ambling slowly across the savanna is considered to be one of the most dangerous of the Big 5 in Africa.

Witnessing a herd of African buffalo on the charge is a sight to behold as the ground shakes and thunders with the sound of their hooves - definitely one of the most awe inspiring experiences you could wish for on your African safari.

But the Dugga Boys are something else entirely - usually solitary, these older buffalo are likely to have been forced from the herd by younger males and usually gravitate towards the muddy pools that promise a steady supply of fresh grazing and a place to wallow in the mud which they use to coat their skin, protecting them from the sun and biting insects... hence the name "dugga boys" from the Shona word for mud.

It's not unusual to spot two or three of these cantankerous African buffalo bull hanging around, they are notoriously stubborn, aggressive and unpredictable and known to charge with little provocation. These large adult males often have an impressive set of horns the meet in the middle of their head and joined by a hard shield which is referred to as a “boss.”
The horns are used for defense and having seen them in action, I believe that the African Dugga Boys truly deserve their spot on the leaderboard as one of Africa's most dangerous beasts.
