GICLEE - PAPER PRINTS

The fine art paper prints are printed with a method we refer to as giclee printing. This is a technology that has evolved since the late 20th century to use primarily aqueous wide format printers with archival inks on archival media.

A giclée print is a way to classify a professionally produced print using inkjet technology; primarily printed on a fine art paper with archival grade inks. While the process is only several decades old, it has quickly become the method of choice for both artists and photographers. A cold press watercolor paper that is 100% cotton rag. At 300gsm and 19.5 mil, it has a substantial feel and weight. A watercolor style surface, created for discerning fine art printers who want to deliver creative, high-end visual impact with their work, the cold-press texture adds depth to fine art. Because of the bright white surface, the paper delivers a wide color gamut and deep blacks that are printed with inks being resistant to fading over time.
