Giclée Printing FAQ's

What's the difference between Giclée and Digital printing?

Digital print and Giclée print terms are two very different things. A digital or art print is a reproduction of an artwork or photograph with no standards for resolution, paper or ink quality with digital prints. A Giclée print on the other hand has exact specifications for printing. First, Giclée prints require at least 300 dpi high-resolution images to give them the sharpest detail and the broadest spectrum of colour. Next, Giclée prints must be printed on specialised acid-free archival paper to ensure their longevity of more than 200 years. Lastly, Giclée prints must be printed on an inkjet printer using high-quality pigment-based inks. This combination of standards results in breathtaking prints that will last a lifetime.

Are Giclée prints worth it?

Yes! Giclée prints offer high-quality reproductions fit for display in any museum or exhibition. Giclée prints are the industry standard, used by artists, designers, photographers and gallerists to showcase artworks at their best. With a textured surface, they can imitate brushstroke or a palette knife, perfect for fine art reproductions. In addition to their exquisite finish, Giclée prints have extremely long longevity. Giclée print will last over +100 years without fading or ageing, making them perfect for both collectors and archival purposes.

So if you’re looking for an eye-catching printing style that will last a lifetime, Giclée is your choice.

Why are Giclée prints so expensive?

One of the main factors that affect the price of Giclée prints is the high-quality materials and specialised equipment needed to produce them. Giclée prints require the highest-quality pigment-based inks Giclée and specially treated acid and lignin-free paper to ensure their archival quality. In addition, Giclée prints are printed on state of the art inkjet printers that allow for print sizes up to 160cm x 5000cm. On top of their exquisite quality, Giclée prints have also become highly collectable, with many prints increasing in value. Used by many established and upcoming artists alike for limited edition prints, their high quality and longevity ensure the prints appreciate, with some examples realising prices of hundreds of thousands of pounds. If you’re an artist, designer, or photographer, Giclée prints make an excellent choice for your next limited edition print run.

How long does a Giclée print last?

A variety of factors can influence the longevity of your Giclée print, including humidity, extreme temperatures and light intensity. Giclée inks use the highest quality pigment-based inks alongside acid and lignin-free paper to ensure they don’t fade or degrade over time. When stored in normal conditions, Giclée can last 100 years, and in optimal conditions can last more than 200 years, guaranteeing your print looks its best for years to come.

Do Giclée prints fade in sunlight?

Sunlight is powerful, but the longevity and high-quality materials used to produce Giclée prints allow them to hold their colour better than standard prints. When stored in optimal conditions, Giclée prints can last over two hundred years before beginning to fade. In normal conditions, such as hanging on your wall, your Giclée print will last over 100 years before showing signs of ageing. It is important to note that intense, direct sunlight may increase the risk of your print fading. If you’re looking for a museum-quality print that will last a lifetime without fading, Giclée is a perfect choice.
