The word Giclée (zhee-klay) comes from the French word gicler meaning “to squirt, spurt, or spray”. The term is now generally accepted to describe high quality art and photographic inkjet printing, on fine art and photo papers, using archival pigment inks. Giclée printing is perfect for fine art reproduction, photography, digital art and illustration..

Our Canon fine art printer uses the very latest archival inks and when used with our premium acid free papers and canvas and appropriately stored prints or prints framed under glass, depending on the paper, they can be expected to last at least 75 to 100 years
