Giclee
(pronounced Jee Clay), from the French for little
squirt.
A
giclee print is a piece of printed
artwork produced by using a high quality digital
Inkjet Printer. Extremely fine droplets of ink
are spurted onto heavy paper or artists canvas.
These droplets can be controlled by computer so
that the resolution of the printed image is much
finer than conventional printing.
We use the
Epson 2000P for the production of our Giclees, this printer offers 6 Color
Printing using Permanent Archival Inks with a
durability of over 100 years (according to Epson). In conjunction with
this we use Epson quality papers, specifically designed to use
with this Printer, to give the
very best overall result.
The Epson Premium Semi-Gloss
67lbs/ream which we use,
in conjunction with the Permanent Epson Inks, have a lifetime of
over 100 years and upto 200 years.
It is recommended that in order to achieve that
longest life of your print and minimize any color
change, your print should be matted, displayed behind
conservation glass in a frame, and away from direct sunlight.
