Our Reproduction Quality

Our reproductions will last for a minimum of 20 years indoors in good condition. Guaranteed.

To understand what makes a reproduction of a painting a good quality fine art reproduction, you should understand fine art reproductions.

Gicleé (pronounced gee-clay) is a French word meaning "to spray." In English, ink jet. This is only the method used to apply ink to the paper. Gicleé reproductions are the result of a perfect blend of art and technology. They achieve the intention of the artist with more accuracy than any other means currently available. A state of the art graphics printer sprays 4 million drops of water-based inks per second onto a spinning drum which holds the paper. Droplets of uv protected ink the size of a human blood cell (4 picoliters) are applied with an accuracy that is unsurpassed in the art world. Gicleé reproductions have turned the art world upside down - reproductions of amazing quality are now available to everyone.

The term Gicleé can be used for any ink jet reproductions, including your basic home computer printer's output. A basic home ink jet printer is unacceptable for fine art reproductions because the inks used will fade within weeks, starting with red and progressing over a brief period of time until all you're left with is a faded grayish printed paper. This is not acceptable.

Gicleé is the standard term most people believe means a good quality reproduction. Many good quality reproductions are gicleé reproductions and gicleé is the most technologically advanced printing process today, but this term really has nothing to do with the quality of a reproduction.

The most important part of a fine art reproduction is not the method used to apply ink, but the ink itself. If the reproduction is created with inks that will not fade on acid free paper, the reproduction will not fade. Our inks are guaranteed by us for 20 years against fading. We can easily guarantee this because our inks are independently rated from 38 - 150 years against fading.

The next part of the fine art reproduction equation is how the original painting image is captured. Gicleé and our other reproductions are captured by computer, also the most technologically advanced way to capture artwork today. Absurdly high dpi in the original scan and the actual reproduction are very important. That's how you get clear, sharp reproductions.

The final part of the fine art reproduction is accurate color. This final part is why Jennifer Branch, the artist, makes all her reproductions herself. She can put the original painting next to the reproduction and works with the reproduction until it's as close to the original painting as possible. She has the freedom to keep working with the reproduction until she's as happy with the quality of her reproduction as her original painting.

Jennifer Branch only paints paintings she's happy with - anything less you'll never see. She only creates fine art reproductions of her paintings that she's happy with the quality of. If there is ever a problem with a fine art reproduction that has been reasonably well cared for (guidelines below), Jennifer Branch Gallery will replace it.

How to Care for Originals & Fine Art Reproductions

Paintings & Reproductions should be handled taking special care to avoid any contact with water or mist. Please make certain that your hands are clean, dry and oil-free before touching, and frame using acid free mountings. Reproductions should be treated like original watercolor paintings.

Never place originals or fine art reproductions in direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight accelerates fading greatly. We have tested our reproductions for the 3 months of summer outside in direct sunlight. They did not fade at all. However, not placing originals or reproductions in direct sunlight is a good guideline.

Don't let originals or fine art reproductions get wet. They will be destroyed.

Shipping Time

If you need a painting or reproduction immediately for a special occasion, please call 404-664-5723. We'll do whatever we can to get your artwork to you when you need it.

Occasionally, we might anticipate a long delivery time for a particular frame because of our frame supplier's delay. If that happens, we'll contact you to ask if you want to make a second frame choice, wait for your first choice, or ship unframed.

That's as simple as a shipping table gets!

All shipping costs given are in the continental United States only.

Shipping costs outside the continental United States will be higher, so please contact us before making your order. Otherwise, we'll simply make a separate charge for shipping after we've mailed the painting. We only charge for shipping what it costs us.

International Shipping Costs Flat Fee Table
Only countries we frequently ship to are listed below and on the checkout form for flat fee shipping. If your country is not listed, shipping will be what it costs us. The flat fee prices below are based on USPS shipping charges for unframed paintings and reproductions. These do not include rush service charges.

For purchases within Georgia, there is a 7% sales tax charge.

Return Policy

The full cost, including tax & shipping costs, is due before the painting is sent. If you have any problem with the painting when you receive it, returns are easy. Just contact Jennifer Branch Gallery within two days after you receive it & have the painting in insured return mail within 14 days. Only return paintings after you have contacted Jennifer Branch Gallery and always insure the painting. The full cost will be returned to you.

If the painting or frame is in a different state from that which you received it in (i.e.: marks, folds, misc. damages), the painting cannot be returned. In other words, you break it, you buy it.

If you receive a painting in a damaged state, please inform the shipping company if it's USPS (they will have you fill out a claim form) and contact us and we will work to correct the problem immediately.

Sales made at galleries, festivals or art shows, since the purchaser has seen and approved of the painting before purchase, do not have this same refund policy. There are unscrupulous people who purchase paintings for dinner parties and return them or other like things. If you do have a problem with your reproduction or painting, please contact us immediately and we'll work out a solution. We're very easy to deal with, but paintings aren't "loaners."

Jennifer Branch Gallery or BranchStudio are not responsible for the painting after delivery in good condition.
