About Giclee Prints

Giclee printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer.

There are at least Three basic criteria, which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclee…

1. For giclee printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consists of a 100% cotton base.

2. Any image that is to be printed as a giclee needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI).

3. The last step to creating or confirming a true giclee print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclee print is that giclees are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
