What is a Giclee print?

The term was coined by an American printmaker Jack Duganne in 1991 and describes the way the ink is applied to paper during the printing process. Pronounced zhee’clay, the word comes from the French, meaning to spray, as they are made using high quality ink jet printers.

The quality of a giclee print is far superior to all other forms of printing and is the closest an artist can get to matching their original 2-D artwork. For art lovers who want a piece of fine art but cannot afford an original, giclee reproductions are a close alternative.

The inks are pigment, not dye based, and the papers are archival standard, meaning they last a very long time. Prints can last approx. 200 years in the photo album, 80-years on display behind glass (light fastness) and 50-years without the glass (gas fastness).
