Giclee Art Printing

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") Printing is a term invented by Jack Duganne in 1991 to define the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using high resolution profeccional ink-jet printing.

The word "giclée" came from the French word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle” and “spray of liquid”. This term was invented to distinguish commonly used 4-colors ink-jet technology from high-end digital reproduction of original art.

Giclée Art Prints production require high resolution digital source – scan or photo and professional equipment - 8 to 12-Color printers.

We are printing on professional Epson Art Papers – Ultra Premium Presentation Matte, Premium Luster Photo Paper and Satin Canvas using Epson latest equipment with UltraChrome™ K9 and newest Epson dye based Inks - Claria.
