GICLÉE PRINTS
Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) refers to an inkjet printing process where hundreds of millions of ink droplets are “sprayed” onto a high quality paper or canvas. This allows for maximum resolution and color accuracy because inks are actually mixed to create a smooth transition of color gradients. As opposed to art prints or posters where “dots” consisting of 4 colors are printed to create an image, giclée “ink spraying” is able to capture subtle color differences and ensure continuous tones. We use only archival pigment based inks that are fade resistant and have a long lasting life. Our museum grade paper is very thick and made from alpha cellulous wood pulp and is acid and lignin free.
These are not mass printed. They are printed one at a time and “on demand”. A typical giclée print takes about 7-10 minutes to print, whereas a poster or print takes about a 1/16 of a minute.
