FAQs

01 / The prints

Giclée printing

Is my artwork suitable for Giclée Printing?

If you have a high resolution image of your artwork then yes, absolutely. Giclée printing is suitable for artists / illustrators / graphic designers / photographers - anyone wanting to make high quality reproductions of their artwork.

What's the minimum order quantity for Giclee Prints?

We don't have a minimum (or maximum) order quantity, you can order as little as one print at a time.

What is Giclée printing?

Good question! Giclée printing is a high-quality digital printing process used for reproducing fine art or photography. The term "giclée" is derived from the French word gicler, meaning "to spray," which refers to the method of spraying ink onto the paper or canvas.

These advanced inkjet printers spray pigment-based archival inks onto premium materials such as cotton rag papers and canvas.

Renowned for its precision, vibrant colour range, and durability, giclée printing produces museum-quality results that closely replicate the original artwork. With resolutions exceeding 1200 DPI, these prints are highly detailed and fade-resistant, making them ideal for limited editions and long-lasting prints.

How big can you print?

Our machines can print just over 1 meter wide by around 12-15 meters in length.

What file type should my artwork be?

We can accept JPEGs, PDFs, TIFFs, PNGs. They need to be a high resolution file of 300dpi. - No 72dpi files please, those are only suitable for the web!

How should I look after my Giclée Print?

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep the print away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading, even with archival inks.

Handle with Care: Always handle the print by its edges, using clean, dry hands or cotton gloves, to avoid smudges or oils transferring to the surface. Avoid touching the printed area...especially areas of black!

Framing: For the best protection Giclée prints should be framed behind glass or acrylic with acid free mounts (if you're using one) to protect against light, dust, and humidity.

Store Safely: If unframed, store the print flat in a protective acid-free folder or keep it rolled in acid free tissue paper in its tube.
