Giclee is a french word which means "to spatter out", a term that refers to the way ink is applied to paper by a special large-format, ultra-high-resolution (2880 x 1440 dpi) 7-color ink-jet printer. Giclee prints are the most beautiful and accurate art reproductions that have ever been made; and now, using recently developed archival inks and papers, they are also among the most archival. Independent testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research Inc. (a world-leader in image-longevity testing) has established that Giclee prints made with the very finest 100 lb. semi-gloss archival paper and archival pigmented-inks will last as long as 200 years before any noticeable shift in color integrity occurs. They are truly museum-quality Fine-Art reproductions. Even though these giclees rival any other fine-art reproduction in longevity, perhaps the greatest benefit of Giclee prints compared with other forms of reproduction is the truly stunning accuracy of the prints.
