What are Giclée Prints?
The French term ‘Giclée’ (zhee-klay) translates literally as spirt or spray and is used to refer to digital, fine art prints produced using high end inkjet printers utilising the very latest pigment based archival inks which are highly resistant to fading alongside the finest archival fine art inkjet papers and canvas. The Giclée method also gives superior definition and higher detail to images.
A unique advantage of this type of fine art reproduction over more traditional methods is the ability to print on demand and order exactly what you need when you need it…. you can sell a print first then have it produced!
Small Format Giclée Prints (up to A3 + ) are produced using Epson’s 7 colour archival UltraChrome pigment inks renowned for their superb light fastness. Epson Archival Matte Paper is generally employed due to its smooth white surface suitable for accurately reproducing many different art surfaces as well as its ability to ensure the very best result from the UltraChrome inks. Other papers can be selected upon request to meet your requirements.
Larger format Giclée prints are produced using Epson’s eight colour, archival UltraChrome K3 pigment inks which are certified for use by ArtSure.
A variety of professional papers and canvas from Hahnemuhle and Fotospeed are used to produce large format prints (see p4), some being ArtSure certified.
Small format prints are produced using these inks and surfaces when ArtSure quality is required.
All Giclée prints are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity showing details of inks and substrate used along with care guidelines for purchasers to follow to protect their purchase.
