Introduction To Cinemage Giclee Prints-On-Demand Systems

A Gallery Giclee Prints-On-Demand System integrates the Cinemage Collections Management system with Cinemage PrintStations through the Cinemage E-commerce module to allow galleries to print works either in their Gift Shop for direct handover to the customer, or to allow prints from their collection to be printed on remote PrintStations in Framing Shops or PrintCentres, for direct order fulfillment or for Print & Ship order fullfillment. Reproductions from their collections can also be sold through direct Internet orders, or through orders from Remote Order Entry Stations placed by Cinemage in Commercial Gift Shops & Galleries.

Collectively, these resources provide an expanded distribution network and substantially increased revenue opportunities from the sale of reproductions from their collection.

An example available from the Gallery is a piece entitled "The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last Berth to be broken up, 1838".

Painted 1n 1939 by TURNER, Joseph Mallord William (1775 - 1851) it has been voted The Greatest Painting in Britain.

The 98-gun ship 'Temeraire' played a distinguished role in Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, after which she was known as the 'Fighting Temeraire'. The ship remained in service until 1838 when she was decommissioned and towed from Sheerness to Rotherhithe to be broken up.

The painting was thought to represent the decline of Britain's naval power. The 'Temeraire' is shown travelling east, away from the sunset, even though Rotherhithe is west of Sheerness, but Turner's main concern was to evoke a sense of loss, rather than to give an exact recording of the event. The spectacularly colourful setting of the sun draws a parallel with the passing of the old warship. By contrast the new steam-powered tug is smaller and more prosaic.

Turner was in his sixties when he painted 'The Fighting Temeraire'. It shows his mastery of painting techniques to suggest sea and sky. Paint laid on thickly is used to render the sun's rays striking the clouds. By contrast, the ship's rigging is meticulously painted.

Cinemage and Hewlett Packard (Canada) Company
