What is a Giclee?

Giclee: Giclee is the French word meaning "to spray". It is pronounced "zhee-clay". The Giclee printing process is one in which an original image is scanned or rendered digitally. Artisans at the printer or atelier work with images on a computer screen to make it accurate beyond words. Because no printer screens are used, the prints have a higher resolution than lithographs. The color range is very similar to a serigraph. In the Giclee fine art printing process, a fine stream of ink more than four million droplets per second, is sprayed on archival art paper or artist's canvas. The effect is perfect for finer art printing. Giclees are produced singly, using state of the art technology by expert craftsman who are artisans themselves. Giclees are made from original art in the forms of water colors, oil and acrylic paintings, pastels, pen and ink drawings, and charcoal drawings.

Limited Edition and Open Edition Giclee Fine Art Prints

Signed numbered prints are created individually. You'll be sent the next lowest available edition number we have. The finest archival water color papers are used as well as specialized archival quality Giclee paper which is more like those in fine art lithographs. In the case of renditions from paintings, when chosen, artist canvas is used to retain the total look and replication of an original painting.

Art from FineArtShack.com is remarkable and truly inspired. We're proud to able to share it with you for a fraction of the cost in galleries.

Print care and Exhibition

The life span estimates of highly specialized pigments used in Giclees make them archival quality and able to last over 150 years with no noticeable deterioration. Keep them away from direct sunlight, or other harsh elements, they can fade even the best of print jobs. If a print on fine art paper has not been coated, it should be protected from moisture and is best framed behind glass. Store art and photographic prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage box that is acid free. Archival sleeves are also available at many craft stores for storing your fine art print collections.

Handling Your Prints

If at all possible, do not touch the top of your print as fingers can contain elements which might degrade a print. Perfumes, some soaps, and even hand lotions might be problematic from your hands. Scratching can occur even with your finger nails. Some photographic and art papers show scratches very easily so be very careful. Handle all your art prints and photographs with a gentle touch, to help preserve them.
