Giclée Printing: A Revolutionary New Way of Reproducing Fine Art Pieces

“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together” ~John Ruskin

Reproduced prints of fine art works must have the aura, emanation, and quality of the original version.  Giclée Printing is the most advanced printing technology that can capture the 'essence' and 'accurate details' of your original two-dimensional artwork, photographs or computer-generated art. 

The term “Giclée” (pronounced as "gee-clay") has been derived from the French “le gicleur,” which means “to spray.” Giclée Printing is a fine art digital printing method in which very high quality inkjet printers are used to spray a digital picture onto fine art print paper. Giclée printing has revolutionized the way conventional artworks (be it painting, drawing, or photographs) are reproduced. It produces the clarity of the art/picture and the depth of color that no other printing technology can provide you. Giclée printing technology helps photographers and artists to achieve the quality in their reproduced artworks, which was until now unobtainable without spending huge amount. 

Giclée prints feature excellent depth of color, accuracy, wide tonal range, line contrast, raggedness, stability, and color gamut. Dubai-based companies offering giclée printing services provide Giclée prints on different papers with varying textures and surfaces including smooth surface and textured surface, in different matte finishes. The print process involves spraying microscopic dots (which have the diameter of one millionth of the diameter of a hair) of fade resistant pigment inks onto luxurious and authentic fine art papers using sophisticated high-end inkjet printers. Today's high quality inkjet printers have Dots Per Inch (DPI) resolution in thousands (1200-4800 dpi), which help to produce images in fine detail. Since incredibly rich colors are used in this printing method, you cannot find any visible dot pattern as seen in “traditional” printing methods.

Giclée Printing method provides a number of advantages over other print methods:

1. Artwork Customization – Giclée Printing enables artists and photographers to get high quality, affordable, and custom fine art prints, which will capture every detail of their vision. It is the perfect solution for them to mass-produce their work on demand, without spending too much.

2. Impressive Color Gamut - The latest digital inkjet printers provide greater accuracy in details and depth of color, ensuring finer reproduction of originals. Advanced inkjet printers utilize ten colors to deliver unparalleled results and maximum colour gamut and Dmax.

3. Wide Tonal Gradation – This fine art digital printing process provide wide tonal gradation, from high shadows to low highlights, long term lightfastness, better color control between the lightest and darkest areas of the picture, reduced graininess in skin tone areas, and high gloss levels.

4. Better Longevity and Stability – In giclée printing method only high quality fine art papers are used, which are considered to be the best printing papers for longevity and color reproduction. Giclée prints are known for their longevity and versatility and outlast lithographic prints by up to six times.
