    What is giclee, and why artists use it?

    Artists and collectors worldwide have fallen in love with giclée printing. If you have purchased a fine art print, you have probably come across the term giclée. With an exotic-sounding name and a presence all over the art world, you may be wondering: what exactly is giclée, and why do artists use it? In this article, we’ll be exploring all aspects of giclée printing, from its inception in the early 1990s, how giclée prints are made, and what benefits giclée provides for artists. Keep reading to learn all about giclée printing and why it is the preferred printing style for artists worldwide. 

    The invention of giclée

    To understand giclée printing and why it has remained a staple of modern fine art printing, we need to learn a bit about the history of giclée and how it came to be. Giclée, pronounced zhee-clay, was first introduced in the 1990s by printmaker Jack Duganne. Duganne wanted to find a way to differentiate his high-resolution, art-quality prints from the lower quality mass-manufactured prints. At this time, IRIS prints were fast, easy to produce and commonly used for commercial proofs. While this printing style was perfect for a business setting, it did not produce high enough quality prints for use in the art world. Because of this connotation between digital printing and poor quality, Duganne looked for a new term that would reflect the superior grade of his printed works. 

    Duganne took inspiration from the process of half-tone printing itself. Giclée prints are created when inkjets spray millions of microscopic dots of ink onto specially treated archival paper. These tiny dots, or half-tone patterns, act like pixels to build colour and create the final image. Duganne combined the words le gicleur, French for nozzle, and la giclée, for spray, and the term ‘Giclée’ was born.

    What makes Giclée printing different?

    While giclée printing may sound similar to how your inkjet printer works at home, some key differences exist. Giclée prints, by definition, must start with a high-resolution image. The resolution of an image will determine how many dots of colour will be printed. The more drops of ink, the better the clarity and detail of the picture. All giclée prints are required to have a minimum resolution of 300 DPI or dots per inch.  

    Another factor determining a giclée print is the materials used to create it. Giclée prints must use pigment-based inks. These high-quality inks guarantee accurate colours in an array of spectral hues. To be considered a giclée print, the work must also be printed on specially treated lignin and acid-free paper. This paper is specially formulated for use with pigment-based inks and ensures the print’s longevity. Lastly, giclée prints must be printed on a professional wide-format inkjet printer. These professional printers can create the highest quality prints in sizes up to A0.

    Why do artists use giclée 

    Giclée has a myriad of benefits that make it the ideal style for artists to print their work. Artists and galleries have favoured this high-resolution printing style for decades, and for good reason.

    Colour

    Giclée makes gorgeous, brightly coloured prints in a spectrum of life-like colours. Giclée uses HD ultra-chrome ink in 12 different colours to achieve unparalleled results, creating a vast range of shades from ruby reds to azure blues and the most velvety blacks. Giclée is the ideal printing style for showcasing artworks with bold, vivid colours. 

    Quality

    Giclée prints are made with the best materials on the market. Combining acid and lingin-free archival papers with HD ultra-chrome pigment-based inks, artists know that giclée prints will accurately represent their artistic vision without fading or deteriorating. Because of the quality of materials they are printed with, giclée prints have exceptional longevity. Routinely used for archival works, giclée prints are made to withstand the test of time and will continue looking their best for 100+ years. Artists know that if they want superior quality prints, the top choice is giclée.

    Ease

    Above all, giclée printing is a quick and easy process readily accessible to artists of all kinds. Unlike some traditional fine art printing techniques that can take hours to produce a single print, giclée can make archive-quality images in mere minutes. This quick turn-around time means that artists can spend less time printing and more time in the studio creating new works. Artists looking for an efficient and high-quality printing method know that giclée is the best choice.
