Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) prints are high-quality, high-resolution prints produced by an Iris printer on Arches watercolor paper. These prints were produced, under the artist's supervision, by nextMonet (previously Visualize) in SanFrancisco. Previously marketed by nextMonet, Yoju's Studio has purchased all remaining prints in each edition and offers them for your availability. Each work is signed and numbered by the artist.

Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) prints are made using a specialized ink spray process developed exclusively for fine art printing. The Artist's image is captured digitally and then refined by Yoju and the Master Printer to obtain the color and clarity elements of the work. Archival-quality paper is then exposed to a very fine spray of ink, which thereby transfers the image and creates the limited edition. The giclee process highlights Yoju's graphic brushstrokes and the woodblock print-like texture of these vivid works.
