What is a Giclee Print?
A giclee print is a high quality fine art print created using an ink-jet printer that employs pigment-based inks on archival paper or canvas. To qualify as a giclee, the print must be produced at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch ensuring exceptional detail and colour accuracy. Giclee prints are highly sought after by artists and collectors due to their archival longevity and superior reproduction quality.
My illustration is printed onto Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm – a white, 100% cotton paper with a smooth surface texture which guarantees archival quality. The paper meets the highest industry standards regarding density, colour gamut, colour graduation and image sharpness while preserving the special touch and feel of genuine art paper.
The giclée prints are created using an Epson P7500 with Epson pigment inks, which, with the 12 channel print head, is capable of producing an extremely wide tonal range and colour gamut.
The print size is A4, the dimensions of which are 21cm x 29.5cm
