• ARCHIVAL GICLEE ART PAPERS •

The visual quality of a paper giclee print is extremely high and the colour saturation and definition stunning, rivalling traditional silver-halide and gelatine printing processes. When prints are produced on good quality paper, the print can have a light-fast life expectancy of over 100 years, comparable or better than other collectible artwork and therefore commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.

We offer competive pricing and a wide selection of acid free archival art papers for giclee limited editions in many weights and finishes. Each print is hand cut and hand packaged to ensure quality control.

The museum quality of these reproductions is sure to give anybody the prestige and satisfaction of a serious fine art collector. In fact, giclee canvas art does not even need to be framed with glass to look amazing - it can be a stretched gallery wrap style. The natural texture of the canvas gives these prints the look and feel of an original oil painting. Also, prints on giclee canvas are tougher and more durable than conventional paper prints. It has been consistently shown that giclee canvas lasts longer than anything else available on the market.

We print with Epson's K3 pigment inks on Epson wide format inkjet giclee printers, which offer the best colour gamuts and consistent colour printing in the art reproduction industry. Epson UltraChrome K3™ ink technology represents a defining moment in the history of ink jet printing.

We offer a selection of tested and approved stretchable art canvases in different finishes. Each print is hand cut and hand packaged to ensure quality control.

Giclée Fine Art Prints (pronounced “gee-clay”) are extremely high quality, archival grade, digital prints that use an ultra fine inkjet printing process to produce images of intense colour and vibrancy. Giclée printing is widely regarded as one of the very best fine art printing methods currently available and has become extremely popular with artists and photographers displaying their images in art galleries, museums and exhibitions. They are used mostly for limited editions reproduction of fine art.

Although originally devised in America, the word “Giclée” comes from the French verb “to spray” and refers to the ink being sprayed onto the paper. This sophisticated digital reproduction technology utilizes light-fast and UV-resistant pigment based inks with more colours than regular printing to produce beautiful digital reproductions that last much longer than those produced using traditional commercial fine art printing techniques. The Giclée inks are lightfast to an extremely high standard and are designed to be printed onto specially developed archival quality papers. The results are superb quality prints with unparalleled vibrancy and detail that should literally last well over a lifetime.

Besides the brilliant colour, sharp definition, and eye-catching visual quality of our Giclée Prints, their digital nature means that they can be reproduced exactly the same, time after time, even years apart. This makes our Giclée Fine Art Prints perfectly suited to limited edition prints and art gallery sales.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giclée (pronounced [ʒiːˈkleɪ] "zhee-clay" or /dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French IPA: [ʒiˈkle]), is an invented name (i.e. a neologism) for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray"[1]. It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne[2], a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
