What is a Giclee?
A Giclee is a “fine art print” produced on a high quality digital printer. The word Giclee is a French word and means "sprayed, jetted, or spurted". We print our Giclees on the highest quality printers and papers used in the industry to reproduce fine art prints.
How long do Giclees last?
Giclees have undergone extensive testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc., a leading authority on the care and preservation of prints, photographs, and films. Wilhelm’s testing, has shown that under standard conditions, a Giclee can last as long as 75 years before easily noticeable fading begins. It is important to note that all colors fade. Depending of the composition of the paints, many original watercolors will fade faster. The same goes for Cibachromes, which Wilhem rate at 29 years. |
