WHAT IS GICLEE PRINTING?

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". Giclee print images are generated from high resolution digital scans or photographs and printed with archival quality inks onto various media including canvas, fine art paper, and specialist photographic papers. The Giclee printing process provides a better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction. Giclee prints are created using professional colour ink-jet printers, such as our own 12 colour Canon machine. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. The quality of the Giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
