FAQ: Printing
What printing process do you use?
We use Giclée printing. Giclée printing is a high-quality fine art reproduction created through a specialized inkjet printing process. The term “Giclée” originated from the French word meaning “sprayed ink.” This printing technique is widely recognized for its ability to produce exceptional reproductions with fine image resolution.
We utilize Giclée printing for all of our prints. Giclée printing technology allows us to maintain a higher level of detail and precision, faithfully reproducing the original fine art or photographic images.
By employing this sophisticated inkjet printing method, we can ensure that our prints exhibit excellent image quality and preserve the integrity of the original artwork or photograph. The term “Giclée” has become synonymous with top-tier fine art reproductions due to its ability to capture intricate details and produce remarkable results.
How long do your Giclée prints last?
The longevity of our Giclée prints is influenced by several factors, including the inks used, the paper selected, and the display or storage conditions.
Extensive research and development have been dedicated to ensuring the archival quality of our prints. Based on current scientific lab reports, it is estimated that when our recommended papers and Giclée printing process are used, the prints can last between 100 to 200 years under optimal conditions.
However, it’s important to note that the specific archival nature of each print can vary. Factors such as the type of inks used, the archival properties of the chosen paper, and the environmental conditions in which the print is displayed or stored can impact its longevity.
It’s worth mentioning that even with the highest quality materials and processes, prints exposed to direct sunlight may still experience some degree of fading over time. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid direct sunlight to preserve the longevity of the prints.
By considering these factors and taking appropriate care, our Giclée prints are designed to offer long-lasting quality and enjoyment for generations to come.
