What is a “Pigment Giclée?”
You probably already know that the word “Giclée“ is French, with a loose English translation of “to spray”. But there is no magic behind a fine art Giclée print itself. A Giclée printer is not a photo print per-se, ( though it can be a print OF a photo) but rather an expensive high-end ink-jet pigment based printer with higher resolution heads and the ability to work with archival fine art pigments and substrates. By using “archival” pigmented inks, this printing medium preserves your fine-art editions and portrait photo print buyer’s investment; making your artwork a more attractive purchase. And just how archival is a Pigment artist print? Accelerated testing places them between 100 and 200 years under archival storage – less when displayed. Before choosing on the paper and canvas stocks we offer for your editions, manufacturer specifications on longevity are examined then we thoroughly test the printing papers to make sure the final print quality meets our stringent professional guidelines.
