ABOUT A GICLEE PRINTING

A giclee (pronounced "zee-clay") comes from the French word, "fine spray". It is a digital plotter-based (large format) print that is produced by the application of millions of tiny ink droplets sprayed onto fine art paper or canvas. The archival based inks used are specially formulated so that the fine print heads spray droplets at a resolution of 1200 dpi. The media used is also of archival grade and can last from 100 to 200 years. The visual quality of the print is extremely high and the color saturation and definition stunning. Since printing is of “photo quality” the quality of the print’s appearance is directly related to the quality of the image provided. Based upon that permise, an image file with overall good color and tonal contrast and of a high resolution turn out the best pints. We offer giclee prints on both canvas and paper.
