Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tom,
Well said, I have been using two items, Renaissance Art and Gicclee' Art
Prints.  After reading what Gicclee really means in French slang, I may drop
that one.

Renaissance fine art prints come with an additional white border around the
image area. This allows for the watercolour paper to be hand-torn along the
paper edge to achieve a deckled edge effect. They are painted on acid-free
archival paper and center mounted on a larger complimentary-coloured salon
mount board. Then another complimentary-coloured salon mat is cut to frame
the mounting. This entire composite mount is then custom wood framed and put
under glass.
