What is a Giclée Print?

Giclée is French for “sprayed ink,” and is a sophisticated printmaking process. Total Image has a large format Epson GS 6000 printer using Ultrachrome GS technology and printing eight individual colours. The result is stunning colour gamut and accuracy.
Usually reproduced on inkjet canvas or fine-art paper, Giclée prints are often made from photographic images of fine-art paintings in order to produce high quality, permanent fine-art reproductions. The extra-fine image resolution possible in this inkjet printing process permits retention of a high degree of the fine detail from the original image, and renders deeply saturated colours with a broad range of tonal values.

Giclée Printing Advantages

Giclée printing has many advantages over other fine art printing methods. Since each piece is individually produced one-at-a-time reproduction can be printed, therefore the artist is not obligated to finish an edition all at once. It is possible to order Giclée prints as-needed without large up-front costs and storage problems associated with other fine-art printing methods.
