About the Giclée Printing Process

Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".

Giclée prints are printed using state-of-the-art digital printing machines and high-quality media and inks.

The Giclée process ensures a stunning reproduction of any image style, from photography to watercolour. Unlike normal printing, which is made up of loads of small dots, the Giclée printing process achieves almost continuous colour, due to the unique way the ink spreads on the paper.

Inks are pigment based ones and in normal lighting conditions, an giclée print should remain lightfast for a minimum of 25 years.
