No, a guy in Tulsa does them

Leslie:

No, I don't make my own prints. I have a professional do them here in Tulsa, OK. He uses archival inks, and prints (very economically, I might add) on canvas, watercolor paper, or rice paper. I have most of my work done on canvas.

His prices are extremely low, compared to other places -- around $7.50 to $16.00 for the scan, and ten cents per square inch for the copies. He can print up to 44 X 90 inches.

But the thing about Giclee inks is this: Those inks are WATER SOLUBLE. In other word, if a sprits of water hits the face of the copy, the ink will run.

I buy a special spray called Bulldog spray. It's nasty smelling. I do it out in the barn, and then leave. After I've done that, I paint on an acrylic varnish. Between the two processes, the ink is then sealed and protected.
