One of the biggest buzzwords in the art-market today is "Giclee". With an ultra-high apparent resolution of 1800 d.p.i., and the ability to print on many fine art substrates, the Giclee processes are commanding a great deal of attention. Ideal for fine art limited editions, the Giclee has become the preferred method for fine art reproduction world-wide. The days are gone when full artist editions had to be run at one time. With our high-end giclee fine art prints, your editions can be run in batches as little as one print at a time. Why waste your money printing thousands on speculation? Many of our clients feel that our Epson 9600, combined with our years of technical experience in the digital realm, provide for fine art prints that outperform the competitive Iris for color fidelity and detail. The 7-color printing process of the Epson 9600 provides a much larger color gamut than the 4 and 6 color versions on the market today, and our technicians measure their reproduction experience in decades, not years. The mystery behind "Giclee"
You probably already know that the word "giclee" is French, with an English translation of "to spray". But there is no magic behind a giclee print. A Giclee printer is essentially a high-end ink-jet printer with higher resolution heads and the ability to work with fine art type substrates such as, watercolor papers, canvas, and any number of other art and graphics printing papers. By using "archival" inks, this printing medium preserves your art buyers investment, making your artwork a more attractive purchase. And just how archival is a giclee print? There is a great deal of debate surrounding the longevity of Giclee prints, much of it a result if differing opinions on how to "correctly" test that longevity. the truth is, no one really knows for sure. Before we decide on paper and canvas stocks to run through our giclee printers, we examine not just manufacturer specifications on longevity, but we also thoroughly test all printing papers to make sure the final print quality meets our professionally stringent guidelines.
