What is a Giclee?

Giclee” (pronounced Jee Clay), from the French for little squirt. 

A “giclee” print is a piece of printed artwork produced by using a high quality digital Inkjet Printer. Extremely fine droplets of ink are spurted onto heavy paper or artists canvas. These droplets can be controlled by computer so that the resolution of the printed image is much finer than conventional printing. We use the Epson 2000P for the production of our Giclee’s, this printer offers 6 Color Printing using Permanent  Archival Inks with a durability of upto 200 years. In conjunction with this we use Archival quality papers to give the very best overall result. 
The Archival Semi-Gloss paper which we use is 67lbs/ream and has a lifetime of upto 140 years. It is recommended that in order to achieve that longest life of your print and minimize any color change, your print should be displayed behind glass in a frame and away from direct sunlight.

Giclee prints have become very popular in the USA. It is estimated that upto perhaps 80% of all new Art is being reproduced using Giclee Techniques. The benefits for collectors are the wonderful quality, stability and fidelity of Giclee Prints.
