About Giclée Printing Process
Giclée printing is a high-quality, professional printing technique used to create fine art prints that closely resemble the original artwork.
Here’s a closer look at what makes the giclée printing process exceptional:
​1. Definition:
The term "giclée" (pronounced zhee-clay) comes from the French word "gicler," meaning "to spray." This name reflects the method used in giclée printing, where archival pigment-based inks are sprayed onto the print surface with incredible precision and detail.
​2. Print Quality:
Giclée prints are renowned for their superior quality and fidelity to the original artwork. The process allows for a wide color gamut and fine resolution, capturing every nuance and subtlety of the artist’s work. This makes giclée prints indistinguishable from the original, even upon close inspection.
​3. Materials:
Giclée printing uses high-quality, archival-grade materials:
​Inks: Pigment-based inks are used instead of dye-based inks. These inks are resistant to fading and can last over 100 years without significant degradation when displayed under proper conditions.
Paper: The prints are typically made on premium archival paper, such as cotton rag, watercolor paper, or canvas. These materials are chosen for their durability and their ability to hold ink well, resulting in rich, vibrant prints.
4. Technology:
The giclée printing process utilizes advanced inkjet printers that can produce extremely fine droplets of ink. These printers have a higher resolution than traditional printing methods, often exceeding 1440 DPI (dots per inch). This high resolution allows for smooth gradients and intricate details, ensuring the print captures the essence of the original artwork.
​5. Longevity and Preservation:
One of the key benefits of giclée printing is its longevity. The combination of pigment-based inks and archival-quality paper means that giclée prints are less susceptible to light, heat, and humidity, making them an excellent choice for collectors and art enthusiasts who want their prints to stand the test of time.
​6. Versatility:
Giclée printing is versatile and can be used for a wide range of artwork, including photography, digital art, and traditional media such as watercolor, oil, and acrylic paintings. This makes it a preferred method for artists and photographers seeking to produce high-quality, limited-edition prints of their work.
​
In summary, giclée is the gold standard for quality and longevity.
