WHY CHOOSE OUR PROFESSIONAL GICLEE PRINTING SERVICES

WHAT DOES GICLEE MEAN?

Giclée is a French term meaning “to spray” and are produced by firing extremely small droplets of ink onto specially coated paper to build a colour or black and white print with a longevity of 200 years under the correct conditions.

WHY CHOOSE THIS PRINT METHOD?

We’re often asked, “why giclée?” The answer is down to three important distinctions that a professional giclée print has over an inkjet print that you could produce at home.

Giclée printers have a higher dot per square inch resolution than normal printers, allowing higher quality detail and less pixelated prints.

They deliver unrivalled colour accuracy with superior black & whites, exceptional colour gamut and sublimely smooth gradient transitions giving a print that fine art feel. 

Giclée printers use a higher quality of fade-resistant, archival, pigment-based inks. When applied to high quality archival papers this results in an unbeatable archival lifespan of up to 200 years.
