Giclee Prints

What are Giclee Prints?

Giclee printing is used in the high quality reproduction of 2D artwork. Giclee is a french word meaning “to squirt or spurt.” The process of printing giclee prints is done with millions of microscopic droplets of archival ink squirted onto Epson approved paper/canvas products.

Giclee printing represents the next step in the evolution of printmaking technology. Your artwork is photographed with a state of the art high resolution digital camera, color corrected and printed with archival inks.

This eight ink process done on your choice of papers or canvas creates stunning images with extremely high detail and brilliant color that can rival the original for look and feel.
