What is a Giclee?

Do you want to know what makes Ray Simon Art stand out? What makes this art come to life? It's not just the quality of the work but the materials that we use to produce our prints.


Our prints are reproductions of Ray Simon's original pieces. What makes the prints unique is that they are giclee prints. Giclee comes from a French word that means to spray. It refers to the way a particular printer sprays the ink to match the color and style of the original painting. This process gives our customers a high-quality print of the Ray Simon original.


It takes more than just a special giclee printer to produce our high-quality prints; we also use better quality ink and printing surfaces.


While the process to produce a giclee print may be costly, we want to ensure all of our customers get a high-quality print that will stand the test of time. Click below to check out some of our best prints!

Art Paper Vs. Canvas

  • Paper

    We offer all our prints on high-quality fine art paper. Our paper mixed with our giclee ink offers fine detail to the prints. An advantage of our paper prints is that they are of archival quality. This means the print will stay strong over time and will not deteriorate.

    The giclee prints have a high level of detail and sharpness, making Ray Simon's art come to life.

  • Canvas

    A limited amount of our prints can be printed on canvas.


    Canvas is a heavy-duty fabric that has a textured surface.
    That surface adds a level of depth to the painting that you won't find on paper.

    Another advantage of canvas is that it is durable; it can withstand the wear and tear that comes from everyday life. Our canvas prints are primarily sold with a limited edition frame. They are printed on a satin giclée canvas and stretched across a handmade wooden stretcher.
