The processes below describe some of the current printing techniques available to produce fine art prints. The majority of Jerry's work is done using a Giclee' process through a custom fine art printer.

| | Process: | Giclee' |
| | Description: | Giclee' is a French term meaning “to spurt.” The term giclee' was created by Iris Graphic of Bedford, Massachusetts. The term describes very high quality inkjet printing which offers high resolution, color density detail and exact color management. In this direct process, the digital image file is transferred to a giclee' inkjet fine art printer that sprays extremely fine drops of archival pigment inks onto fine art paper. Based on scientific accelerated aging tests, these giclee prints have an color durability of 75 to 200 years depending on the material it’s printed on.
Advantages:
Archival, fine art prints
Choice of fine art media for printing such as canvas*, watercolor paper, or photo paper.
Exact color consistency between prints
Rapid reproduction
More options in size of prints
* Canvas printing allows lightweight framing options without glass.

| | Process: | LightJet |
| | Description: | A digital image is transferred to a machine that burns laser light onto traditional photographic paper, which in turn is developed in standard chemistry. The papers in this process are a new generation of very fade resistant photographic papers. These prints are referred to as LightJet prints, which simply reflects the name of the manufacturer of the printing machine.
