GICLÉE
A method of reproducing
images as limited, or non-limited, prints for framing. A major
discussion about the permanence of
Giclée prints has been going on
since the first
Giclée print was produced. In the beginning,
the prints faded quickly. Now that problem has all but
disappeared. Our
Giclée prints are produced using pigmented
inks. Pigmented inks have the longest life span. Life
span estimates of
Giclée prints, printed with pigmented inks (by
third-party testing using forced aging) run as long as 100 years
without noticeable fading. This assumes the same care and framing are used
as you would for watercolor paintings. |
