Fine Art Giclee Printing

Giclée is derived from a blend of French words; gicleur, which is a technical term for a nozzle or jet, and gicler, to spray out. Fine Art Giclee Printing uses pigment-based, archival quality inks, manufactured on advanced inkjet printers.

Giclee printers use up to 12 individual colours, unlike traditional printing technology that uses classic CMYK 4-colour combinations. It provides much smoother gradient transitions and a wider colour gamut with more depth and richness.

While both are reproductions of artwork or photos, the main difference lies in the quality, materials, and printing techniques used. 

A print typically refers to a mass-produced reproduction with standard printing methods, often using lower-quality materials. On the other hand, a fine art print is a high-quality reproduction created with archival-grade materials, such as acid-free papers or canvas, and pigment-based inks. Fine art prints aim to closely replicate the original artwork in terms of colour accuracy, detail, and longevity.
