A giclee (pronounced "zee-clay") comes from the
French word, "fine spray". It is a digital plotter-based
(large format) print that is produced by the application
of millions of tiny ink droplets sprayed onto fine art paper
or canvas. The archival based inks used are specially formulated
so that the fine print heads spray droplets at a resolution
of 1200 or 1440 dpi (dependant upon the printer). The media
used is also of archival grade and can last from 100 to
200 years. The visual quality of the print is extremely
high and the color saturation and definition stunning. Since
printing is of “photo quality” the quality of
the print’s appearance is directly related to the
quality of the image provided. Based upon that premise,
an image file with overall good color and tonal contrast
and of a high resolution turn out the best prints. We offer
giclee prints on various canvas and paper types. Compare
