Facts about Giclée Prints

Giclée (French, meaning “a spray of water,” and pronounced, ‘zhee-clay’) is a process that surpasses other printing methods in image quality and control, while also increasing the uniqueness of each print.

Giclée prints are created by spraying one million droplets of ink per second through each of eight nozzles. Our printers employ an eight-color pigmented ink process for a greatly expanded color gamut. Additionally, variable droplets technology enhances color control by enabling three different droplet sizes. By varying the droplet size, the printer can simulate more colors between reachable shades for a smoother transition between colors. It may take as long as eighty minutes to create one print.

Our dye-set is rated for over 120 years on paper or canvas.
Our Giclée prints are available hand-colored by Larry Winborg, which will make the print more unique as a multiple original work of art.

***Always remember to practice common sense when exhibiting and displaying prints. Like watercolors and pastels, Giclée prints are a medium that must not be exposed to moisture.
