GICLÉE PRINTS

GICLÉE is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. Besides its original association with Iris prints, the word giclée has come to be somewhat loosely associated by artists, galleries and print shops with high quality inkjet printing on Epson, Canon, HP and other high end large-format printers. These printers have improved apparent color gamut and allow smoother gradient transitions and more accurate colors. A wide variety of substrates on which an image can be printed with such inks is available, including various textures and finishes. The only way to make an informed choice is to see and touch examples of the substrates. I will print giclées from your files or from any of the images in my galleries. Pricing depends on the substrate chosen and the size of the print.
I use a high end large format Epson printer and will print on the substrate of your choice. Other manufacturers may provide icc printer profiles for their substrates, but I can generate custom icc profiles for any paper/ink/printer combination that you require.
