Giclée (pronounced /ʒiːˈkleɪ/ "zhee-clay" or /dʒiːˈkleɪ) The name Giclée was originally coined by printmaker Jack Duganne in the 1990s. These were the preprint proofs created for color quality and matching prior to the production. During that time the printer was experimenting for color, fade and deterioration of the inks. Giclées are sought by art buyers who can’t afford an original but still want a superior color, long lasting print. Traditional posters can’t offer the high end inks, fade resistant and color matching of a giclée print. A giclée is found in a gallery or by an artist himself replicating one of his pieces. Giclées often include a printed artist’s signature and issue number on a certificate of authenticity. The certificate will potentially increase the print's value over time. A large format digital printer makes these high quality pieces using the four color printing combination allowing extremely defined color matching. We have the digital printing capability to make giclées from your original works of art. We use eco-friendly inks in reusable cartridges. The colors will stay true for up to 25 years if not overexposed to sunlight.
