When printing becomes art
Imagine a painting that is so lifelike that you can almost feel the texture of the paint with your fingers. A photo that not only reminds you but transports you back to the moment. An illustration that is not only beautiful but breathes. This is the world of giclée printing.
Giclée Print – Not Just Printing, But Creation
Giclée (pronounced: zhee-clay) is a premium printing process used by the world's leading museums and galleries to reproduce artworks. The word comes from the French verb gicler, meaning “to spray.” The name derives from the precise and meticulous operation of inkjet printing: the printer sprays microscopic pigment droplets onto the surface of paper or canvas.
Giclée printing is not mass production – it is the pinnacle of artistic printing.
What Technology Is Used?
Giclée printing uses a special, high-resolution inkjet printer that works with at least 8, but often 12 different color pigment-based inks. This should not be confused with the dye-based inks used in home printers.
What makes it even more special:
- Archival quality papers or canvases (acid-free, long-lasting).
- The print has a resolution of at least 300 DPI, but we often work above 1200 DPI.
- The colors have depth and transitions that are stunning, with no pixelation.
