GICLÉE

Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) is derived from the French verb “gicler” meaning to squirt or spray.  A Giclée is a high-resolution digital scan printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates.  The Giclée process provides the most accurate method of fine art reproduction.  These prints using archival watercolor papers and canvas give each piece a look and feel similar to an original work of art.  Life-span estimates by third party testing indicate that Giclées produced on certain matched media, pigment ink combinations should exceed 100 years before any noticeable fading occurs. Giclée prints should be cared for as any piece of fine art.  Paper prints should be framed behind glass.  Canvas prints should be placed on quality stretchers.  No artwork should be exposed to prolonged sunlight or other harsh conditions.
