Our small team of artists, photographers and printers is passionate about prints, particularly Giclée prints. The word giclée is a French language derivation referring to squirt or spray, thus "spraying of ink".
In the early days giclée printing was associated with original digital artwork and over the time also become synonyms for printing reproductions of original artwork done by hand.
The Giclée printing method delivers a fine stream of archive rated pigment ink on fine art papers and canvas, resulting in vivid, pure colour and exceptional detail most suitable for exhibition display and sale as high end fine art prints. It is also regarded as one of the most stable colour printing processes available today.
In this digital time highest quality prints are integral part of making fine art available and with affordable prices to more people than ever before.
Geclée is an unregulated word and it has no associated warranty of quality but highest printing quality can be achieved with using specific printers, ink and paper.
Printers with 8-10 colours, pigment based inks and 100% cotton, acid free paper are producing museum grade prints with exceptional level of conservation (more than 100 years)
We use following paper and ink in production of our prints:
​

This acid- and lignin-free classic meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is specially designed for FineArt applications. Whether it is used for FineArt photography or art reproductions, the ideal combination of structure, print quality and weight makes Photo Rag® one of the most versatile FineArt inkjet papers.
