The descriptive term fine art giclée print has become synonymous with a very high quality print. The criteria used to define a fine art giclée print are the choice of the type of print and the choice of quality of the materials used for the print, namely the colors and the support (paper or canvas).

Giclee printing refers to an inkjet print. This printing system consists of depositing pigment-based ink in the form of small drops sprayed onto the sheet. In fact, translated, the term giclée means "to spray". The prints produced through this process have a superior chromatic and visual quality to other types of digital printing. The inkjet printers used must be equipped with high precision and a wide chromatic range, in order to guarantee excellent results.

Currently, fine art giclée printing is the print production process with the highest visual quality and longest lifespan.

Our prints are created using the sophisticated giclée printing process.

The Hahnemühle paper we use for small format prints has a smooth surface with a barely noticeable texture, a natural white matt finish and a weight of 200 g/m2. The Ilford paper, on the other hand, which we use for all the other print sizes, has a smooth, velvety, matt surface with a natural white tint and a weight of 320 g/m2. The Hahnemühle canvas has a smooth, uniform texture and a weight of 370 g/m2.

The premium Hahnemühle/Ilford paper and canvas we use for our prints, combined with Lucia Pro inks, enable excellent colour retention, with your print maintaining the desired look even for up to 100 years.
