Giclée prints

When printing becomes art

Imagine that a painting is so lifelike on the paper that you can almost feel the layer of paint with your finger. A photo that not only reminds us, but also takes us back to the moment. An illustration that is not only beautiful, but breathes. This is the world of giclée printing .

The giclée print – not just printing, but recreating

Giclée (pronounced zsi-klée) is a premium printing process used by the world’s leading museums and galleries to reproduce works of art. The word comes from the French verb gicler , meaning “to spray”. It gets its name from the precise and meticulous operation of inkjet printing: the printer sprays microscopic drops of pigment onto the surface of paper or canvas.

Giclée printing is not mass production – it is the pinnacle of artistic printing.

What technology is used to make it?

For giclée printing, a special, high-resolution inkjet printer is used, which works with pigment-based inks of at least 8, but preferably 12 different colors. This is not to be confused with the water-based, fading inks of home printers.

What makes it even more special:

• We print on archival quality paper or canvas (acid-free, long-lasting).
• The print has a resolution of at least 300 DPI , but we often work above 1200 DPI.
• The depth and gradients of the colors are impressive, there is no graininess.

Who and what do we recommend the giclée print for?
