How Much Does a Fine Art Print Cost?
Fine Art Giclée Printing Technique
At Color3arte the Giclée printing technique Giclée with Fine Art paper to reproduce works of art—whether paintings, photographs, or digital imagery—with greater color accuracy and resolution than other printing methods.
The termGicléewas coined in 1991 in the United States by Jack Duganne (of Nash Editions) to describe the first digital “inkjet” printing process specifically designed for art reproduction and publishing.
The word Giclée,” pronounced “yiclé,” comes from the French verb “gicler,” which means “to spray.” This inkjet printing technique involves depositing pigment in the form of microscopic droplets by “spraying” the substrate.
This technique produces highly detailed forms and can also create halftones, patterns, and continuous tones. The result is fine art prints of the highest quality, using inks that ensure the image will last for several hundred years; indeed, the quality of a Giclée print surpasses that of prints made using traditional processes, a fact recognized by various professional circles.
Thousands of photographers, painters, and illustrators use the Giclée printing technique to reproduce their works; as a result, museums, galleries, collectors, and art publishers around the world exhibit, sell, collect, and distribute limited-edition color and black-and-white photographic prints produced using this technology.
