If you’re an artist or an art collector, you may already know that Giclée fine art printing is the gold standard when it comes to producing museum-level quality prints. 

​

The term Giclée — pronounced gee-klay — was initially coined by printmaker Jack Duganne in 1991. Today, it’s used to describe fine art printing using pigment based, archival quality inks, manufactured on advanced inkjet printers.

​

Difference between Giclée and other print technologies:

Whereas many traditional print technologies — such as lithography — use the classic CMYK 4-color combination (in some instances with the addition of a pantone referenced spot color) Giclée printers use up to 12 individual colors. This gives much smoother gradient transitions and a wider color gamut. In other words, more depth and richness. In the case of recreating artwork such as a watercolor print, the end result is almost indistinguishable from the original. Giclée prints won’t fade when displayed in normal conditions indoors; colors will retain their brilliance for a lifetime.

​

Giclée printers can print on multiple substrates including canvas, fine art papers and vinyl.
