What’s a ‘giclee’?

Giclee is the first and only fine art print to be made with an ink jet printer. Pronounced, zhee’clay, the word comes from the French, meaning to spray, which is exactly what an inkjet printer does. It was a major break through in the fine art community when giclee reproductions were introduced to the market in the late 1980s . The quality of a giclee print is far superior to all other forms of printing for four basic reasons:

Color– Giclee printers use 10 or more inks, allowing for finer gradients and much more vivid hue and depth of color. Giclee prints are also created with pigment inks, rather than dyes, providing more accurate color reproduction and lasting for a hundred plus years without loss of color or fading.

Resolution– Desktop inkjets can print at high resolutions but giclee printers combine high resolution with a finer inks spray, so the smoothness of the print is substantially more accurate, smooth, and sophisticated.

Paper– Giclees can print on a variety of surfaces including canvas, which allows them to use 100% archival papers. Giclee prints are truly archival, meaning they will never yellow or deteriorate.

Longevity– A giclee print is created to last. Between the pigment based inks and the 100% archival surfaces, 100 to 200+ years of life is standard without the degradation of inks resulting in fading color.
