What is a Giclée Print? – pronounced ‘zhee-klay’

A giclée print is a high-quality fine art reproduction known for its exceptional detail, colour accuracy, and longevity. The process involves spraying archival pigment inks onto archival-grade fine art paper or canvas, resulting in museum-quality prints.

The term giclée—from the French word meaning “to spray”—was coined by printmaker Jack Duganne to describe this sophisticated printing technique. Giclée prints begin with a high-resolution digital scan of the original artwork. This image is then printed using state-of-the-art inkjet printers and archival-quality inks onto premium fine art substrates.

Because giclée printing uses long-lasting materials and precise colour reproduction, the resulting prints offer excellent stability, rich colour depth, and resistance to fading. This makes giclée prints a popular choice among artists, collectors, and galleries seeking fine art prints with professional, lasting quality.
