Q: What is a Giclée Print?
Our exceptional art prints are created using a sophisticated and patented printing process known as "giclée, (pronounced, ‘zhee-CLAY’) Giclée prints are created by spraying one million droplets of ink per second through each of eight nozzles. Our printers employ an eight-color pigmented ink process for a greatly expanded color gamut. Additionally, variable droplets technology enhances color control by enabling three different droplet sizes. By varying the droplet size, the printer can simulate more colors between reachable shades for a smoother transition between colors. It may take as long as eighty minutes to create one print. This results in pure, rich color and remarkable detail. Museums and galleries around the world favor giclée prints. All giclée prints are on canvas or paper, limited edition, signed and numbered by the artist.
