editions
  Lifetime Editions (click for available work) are editions produced and supervised by Jerry during his lifetime.
  Estate Editions are editions produced with the authority of his Estate. The Jerry Garcia Estate is the only organization authorized to publish Jerry's artwork posthumously.
NOTE: All editions sold by the Jerry Garcia Estate are certified with an embossed chop mark and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
  Giclée & Iris Prints (click for available work) reflect the highest quality resolution in digital imagery. For each work of art, many separate layers are assigned to specific colors to create depth and accuracy similar to creating hand-drawn color separations. The density, paper penetration, and tonal range are unsurpassed by any other digital printer. Digital printing depends on great input to achieve great results. The best optic camera is used to produce superior files with no film grain.
  Silkscreen Prints (click for available work) are pulled by hand. Each color in the print has been made by an individual screen. This form of printing has graphic appeal and strength unmatched for color boldness. The silkscreen process creates flat areas of color, blocking the porosity of the paper, and provides depth and tone with undercoats, overcoats and spot colors. This is a very old art process started before digital printing was in existence.
 
Offset Lithography (click for available work) is a four and sometimes up to six-color process run on a press using plates made from a digital file. A plate makes an inked impression on a rubber-blanketed cylinder, which in turn transfers it to the paper. Color is tightly controlled by a highly skilled technician. Paper quality and excellence in the printer make all the difference in quality for this process.
