What is a Gicleé Fine Art Print?

A Gicleé fine art print refers to a machine-made reproduction using the latest and most sophisticated ink-jet technology. The name comes from the French word GICLEÉ (pronounced Zhee-Clay) that means “spray". In this printing method, the media (in our case the artist canvas) is carried by a spinning roller while infinitely small pixels of rich, vibrant archival inks are sprayed on it at a very high speed. This renders an amazingly smooth and consistent image true to the original painting, a superb quality fine art reproduction.

The Gicleé is quickly becoming the new standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for its astonishing quality by major museums, galleries, publishers and artists. A Gicleé Print is quite simply the closest replication of an original artwork that is currently possible.

How durable is a Gicleé Print?

The latest inks offer up to 70 years light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum archival conditions. For even better permanence, we coat all our canvas gicleé prints with a layer of anti-fading UV protective clear satin glaze.

Why canvas prints?

-Above all, they are far more beautiful and elegant than paper prints.
-Canvas doesn't need to be framed with protective glass so the image can be seen clearly without bothersome glares.
-The natural texture of the canvas gives the exact look and feel of an original oil painting.
-Canvas gicleé prints are tougher and far more durable than paper prints.

What type of canvas?

We use only high quality artist canvas to make our gicleé prints.

Canvas prints can be mounted with the same methods used with original oil paintings such as stretching on a traditional wooden frame or dry mounted to a flat board.
