GICLEE REPRODUCTION PRINT
Color Reproductions is the local printshop for the Giclee Reproduction Prints
Reproduction Prints known as Giclée (meaning 'to spray', and pronounced Zhee-clay) were originally developed in 1989. This is a plate-less method of fine art printing. Images are scanned and a digit file is stored in a computer. The image is then color matched to the original image. Each image is then sent individually to a high-resolution printer. The use of acid free paper or canvas, with archival inks, creates an archival quality print. The inks also have an UV protective in them. Through extensive testing, and depending on the type of archival inks used, your Giclée reproduction should last from about 75-150 years before the color fading would be noticeable.
The resolution (dpi or dots per inch) provide incredible detail and the colors results are brilliant. The dpi of 1800 is actually higher than traditional lithography, which has a dpi of 300. This higher dpi allows the colors to be crisp and rich. The benefits of Giclée reproductions are numerous. Giclée prints offer richness, detail and depth that will set them apart from traditional offset lithography.
Many well-known artists are using the Giclee process for their reproduction prints. Giclée reproductions are also being recognized by many art museums.
