Giclee Prints – the technical stuff you may want to know:

Giclée prints are widely accepted in museums and galleries. Many museums, in those in the United States particuliarily have either mounted exhibitions of Giclée prints or purchased prints for their permanent collections. These include: the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the Guggenheim (New York).

Auctions of giclee prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and $22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans. Europe is a little behind but catching up. For example The Louvre Museum is using the process for reproduction and display of works which cannot be allowed out of the museum cellars, and otherwise would never be shown to the public. The Tate online shop sell giclee prints for about €400 each.

The ‘fancy word’  Giclee (zhee-klay) – this French word is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality pigment inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper, all of which I use. The giclee printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction.

Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8 to12 colour printers. I use an Epson which prints up to 44inches or 110 cm wide. These printers have a built in vacuum system which holds the substrate dead flat, so print consistency is guaranteed.  Printers such as this are capable of producing incredibly detailed work for both the fine art and photographic markets.

Giclee prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand, and this is what I do.

Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with reasonable cost. The prohibitive up-front cost of mass production for an edition is eliminated. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film inherently do. Another great advantage of giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to tailor prints for a specific client.
The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional printing methods in terms longevity and fade resistance.
The term “pigment print” is used generally for any type of printed image that uses strictly pigments. Pigment printing processes have been utilised since the middle of the 19th century. The image stability of pigment printing is superior to that of any other method of printing, including traditional silver-halide or metal-based.
