What is a giclee print?
All Giclee art prints are produced on canvas and printed using the finest archival inks currently available. High quality inkjet print allows for a greater complexity of colour and tone. The term 'giclee' is often applied to inkjet reproductions of artworks that were originally produced in another medium.

Giclee prints are generally a combination of dye sublimation and ink jet printing producing a non-impact computer-controlled reproduction in which tiny droplets of ink are projected from nozzles onto the canvas. The result is rich in colour with limited loss of detail and a durable print that in the right conditions will endure for many years.

How will my item be shipped?
Fine Art Guide SA does not undertake the delivery of any artworks bought on this site. Freight and all related costs including packaging should be obtained from the artist directly.

Freight or delivery options include Postage, Door to Door and Door to Door Express. Postal items are usually shipped uninsured through the SA post office. Most artists and galleries utilise the services of a specialist fine art freight handler for the transportation of any artworks. Each artist or gallery reserves the right to appoint and/or change shipping partners.

What does delivery cost?
Freight costs are calculated by volumetric weight or size of the package and can be expensive, which is why we recommend that our artists and galleries send items in tubes wherever possible however the freight and delivery terms are negotiated with the artist or gallery directly and Fine Art SA does not carry out any deliveries on behalf of advertisers or purchasers.

What about international import duties?
Most international shipping charges do not include the applicable import duties or taxes that are due upon entry into the destination country. All duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer, and must be paid at the time of delivery. It is difficult to provide an estimate of these costs as the policies vary from country to country. Fine Art SA does not carry out any deliveries on behalf of advertisers or purchasers.
