About Giclee Prints

Giclee (zhe-clay) printing produces the highest quality color reproduction and resolution possible today. It is used almost exclusively for fine art reproduction. Unlike a poster or lithograph that is sheet-fed, giclees are produced individually and take an hour to print. It is often difficult to distinguish the original from the giclee. Giclees keep their original color intensity for 150 years.

Prominent art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, MOMA, Los Angeles Museum of Art, Smithsonian and The Tate Gallery have hosted exhibitions featuring giclee prints. Their high value in the art world is a function of reproductive quality and the demand for an artist’s work.

Limited, Signed Edition Giclee Prints

When you invest in a giclee, you will receive a museum quality, signed print that will last for generations and increase in value.

Giclees are richly printed on either canvas or archival paper:

Canvas: You may choose to print an image on high quality canvas which closely resembles the original. This is ready to hang.

Archival Paper: “Archival” is another term used for high quality watercolor paper that is heavy, somewhat textured and designed to absorb ink in a way that preserves an image for several hundred years. We typically print on Lyson, Somerset, or Arches paper. This requires matting and framing.

Giclees are available in a variety of sizes not dependent on the size of the original painting. Please discuss your preferences with Bobbie.
