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

A giclée print is a high-quality fine art reproduction achieved by spraying archival pigment inks onto archival fine art paper or canvas. The term ‘giclée’ stems from the French word, meaning ‘a spray or a squirt of liquid.’ It describes the giclée printing process, involving the creation of images from high-resolution digital captures of original artwork. These images are then printed using archival quality inks on archival fine art substrates, including canvas and fine art papers, ensuring giclée prints possess exceptional stability and lightfastness.
