Giclee, (pronounced ‘Jee-Clay’) a French word meaning ‘to squirt’, is a
high-resolution print produced on an IRIS (inkjet) printer.
In Giclee printing, there is no visible dot-screen pattern. The ink is applied from nozzles—at a million droplets per/second—resulting
in all of the original tonalities of the original painting.
These particular prints are done using either, ILFORD GALERIE SMOOTH PEARL paper, or LEXJET ARCHIVAL MATTE paper—both
using archival pigment. These prints should ideally be framed behind UV-resistant glass and if matted, should use a matte
that is acid-free.
Under these conditions, you can expect your new Giclee print to be lightfast for a minimum of 85 years.
