Frequently Asked Questions from Customers
I see many of the artists sell giclee prints. What is a giclee print?
Giclee prints are a way of producing reproductions of an original piece
of artwork. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and
printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including
canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process
provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. Giclee
prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color
ink-jet printers. 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.
