What is Giclee?
Giclée (zhee-KLAY) is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers. The name originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used loosely to mean any fine-art, most of the time archival, printed by inkjet.
Timing
Prints are usually completed within two to three days of the order, but rush option is available. Please allow for extra time for larger quantities.
Printer
We print with an Epson SureColor P20000 printer, which allows up to print up to 64" wide rolls and sheets. Designed for high-production photographic, fine art and indoor display graphics printing, Epson has incorporated newly-developed imaging technologies – including an all-new high-performance 2.6” wide Epson PrecisionCore® MicroTFP® print head. Along with an all-new Epson UltraChrome PRO nine-color pigmented ink set – including four levels of gray – the SureColor P20000 is the ultimate production tool for the demanding requirements of high-production colour and black-and-white fine art printmaking.
Paper Information
We offer watercolour paper in a textured bright white and natural colour. Both papers are 100% cotton rag and acid free. They are archival quality and have a weight of 190gsm. For photographers seeking a flat matte surface, EPSON Enhanced Matte Paper is the ideal choice. This bright whitepaper is perfect for images that do not require gloss. It yields highly saturated images, while maintaining excellent highlight and shadow detail.
