GENERAL INFO

What makes The Jade Dress Shop prints special?

Our prints are Giclée prints, the finest graphic art reproduction and museum-quality available today, printed with archival pigment inks on paper by one of the world’s best fine art printers located in New York City.

Giclée is a French word meaning "spray of ink." A Giclée print is created one at a time. The editions are small. Printing a single Giclée can take up to several hours depending on the size of the print.

Each print, includes a certificate of authenticity that's numbered and signed.

How can I understand the print sizes listed?

Sizes listed reflect the size of the paper in inches and are related to popular sizes for framing, not the image itself on the paper.

All prints are printed with margins or blank space around them. Margin sizes can vary depending on the proportions of the image, and margins will change with differently sized images. For example, some prints may have a 1-inch border, while others may have up to 5 inches. Some prints are square, while sizes listed are rectangular. We determine the best placement for your image on the size paper indicated. Having a margin protects the image from damage and allows for easier framing and mounting.

If you would like an image placed smaller on a given size, or oriented as a 'portrait' or 'landscape' layout, please notate that on your order.

Beyond that, any further special instructions would be a “special piece commissioned” order. Please contact us directly to 'co-create' and for availability and prices.

Do you offer gift certificates?
