Giclée is a digital printing process for creating archival standard fine art prints. Using a 12-colour giclée printer produces incredibly detailed prints for fine art.

Giclée prints render deep, saturated colours and have an exceptional quality that retains minute detail, subtle tints and blends. The term giclée is meant to be applied only to archival digital prints made with fine art paper or canvases here

The giclée printing process is environmentally safe since the inks are water-based and the paper is archival and acid-free. Thus, a giclée must be treated as fine art and placed away from direct sunlight, even though we use long-life archival UV-safe pigmented inks supplied by Canon.

Archival means long lasting – if displayed or stored correctly your giclée print has a lifespan of over 70 years. This is why so many museums and galleries choose giclée for their reproductions. Any packaging or protective treatments that come into contact with our prints are acid-free and will help the print to retain its integrity over time.

We only use 12oz Cotton Duck canvas, hand stretched by Nel onto exhibition quality stretcher bars.

Canvases are framed using 12mm solid Ayous wood, which has a consistent pale straw colour with even indistinct grain and finished/treated with natural beeswax. If you would prefer to receive your canvas unframed please specify at the time of purchase.
