Fine Art Giclée Prints

Ross Graphics has a dedicated Giclée department.

What is a Giclée print?

Giclée prints (zhee-clay) are high resolution, archival quality digital prints produced with the ink-jet process using special pigmented inks that are long lasting and water resistant. Giclées are recognized as fine art prints just like lithographs and serigraphs and should be treated similarly to oil paintings.

Giclées use:

1) Archival pigmented inks (inkjet printer inks)

2) Archival fine art papers (i.e. canvas, watercolor)

3) An inkjet printer with professional grade nozzles

4) Individual color profiling for each paper

Artists and photographers no longer have to suffer the up-front costs and large inventories associated with quantity reproduction of artwork and photographs. Once Ross Graphics archives your work, reproductions can be produced with minimal effort and cost and at almost any size and on various media, giving you the ability to customize prints for any client.

Giclée Printing has many advantages over other print-making methods.

  • Order as few as one print at a time. Buy more as orders arrive.
  • Eliminate large up-front costs and storage problems.
  • Test-market new ideas.
  • Prints are made on high-quality, acid-free archival papers that look and feel like the original work of art and command a higher price than prints made with other methods.
