Giclee Printing-an introduction
Thursday, 12 February 2009 11:04

What is a Giclee Print?





























The term Giclee is French for “spray”. Today , artists commonly use the term to describe a fine art print produced by the inkjet printing method. A giclee print is made with a highly sophisticated inkjet printer using long lasting archival pigment inksets and stable media. Our inks have been tested and should produce a print with a longevity of 100+ years, under ideal conditions. Unlike MANY other studios printing giclees, we stick to ink from the manufacturer in order to insure stability and long life. Our goal is to provide you with the best quality product that we can.
 
We do the bulk of our giclee printing on two machines, a 44" HP Z3100, and a 60" CanonIPF9100.
Both machines run 12 color inksets, which can reproduce the widest color gamut of any machines on the market today.

 

Image Capture

In order to make a print, we need to get your image into a computer. There are several ways to do this, including direct scanning, digital image capture, and scanning from a transparency. Whichever method you choose, the quality of the end product is determined at this step.
 

Color

In addition to good color management practices, our technicians also use a great amount of skill and judgement to get great color. It’s important to keep in mind that a giclee is a reproduction, and will not match an original 100%. This said, we think you’ll be very happy with the results. We have many happy artists who have learned to keep giclee expenses reasonable by exercising restraint when judging and adjusting color.

 

Proofs

We are happy to provide proofs of your work before making the actual prints. Proofs include an 8x10 of the entire image, as well as a small strip at full magnification. The price is $25 per proof, plus postage. Overall color adjustments may be made at a cost of a new proof. Specific color adjusments are made at a price of  $75 /hr, plus the cost of a new proof.

Need more information? please call us at our toll free number (888-880-5851) and we'll be happy to help. Need a sample of a giclee? Let us know, we'll be happy to send you one.
