Our Printing Process

What Is Giclée Printing?

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a special printing method used to create high-quality art prints. The word comes from the French word “gicler”, which means “to spray.” This refers to how the ink is sprayed onto the paper or canvas—smoothly and precisely—to capture every detail of the original artwork.

How the Giclée Process Works

Giclée printing uses professional inkjet printers that are much more advanced than regular home printers. These printers use:

• High-resolution digital files of the original artwork

• Archival-grade inks (fade-resistant and vibrant)

• Fine art paper or canvas designed to hold the ink without smudging or fading

The process involves careful color matching and detailed checks to make sure the final print is as close as possible to the original piece—sometimes even better!

Premium Materials We Use

We use only top-quality materials to ensure each piece of art is made to last:

• Paper/Canvas: Archival-grade, acid-free, and lignin-free to prevent yellowing and deterioration over time

• Inks

  • Pigment-based, archival-quality inks.
  • Fade-resistant and designed to last for decades, often up to 200 years without significant fading
    
  • Capable of producing a much wider color gamut and smoother gradient transitions than dye-based inks found in standard inkjet printers
    

• Acid-free surfaces that help protect the artwork from yellowing over time
