What is Giclée?

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay" [ˈʒiːkleɪ]) printing is an inkjet printing method on canvas, paper, or photo paper that can achieve the highest possible quality. This method is used to print high-resolution graphic works, reproductions of artworks, professional photographs, and other works that demand the best quality. Reproductions printed this way look like the original, with visible brush strokes on the surface that invite touch. Works printed with a Giclée printer are long-lasting and perfect for archival storage. The ink is environmentally friendly, and with proper care, prints can remain unchanged for many years.

What is a reproduction?

A reproduction is a copy of an artwork created through printing. We print using a CANON© PRO printer - this is the highest possible quality pigment printing, significantly better than solvent printing. We use original and natural Canon canvas designed for artworks, which is stretched over a Lithuanian wooden frame. The author receives a royalty for the use of their works from each reproduction made.

What is pigment printing?

Canvas is usually printed in two ways - solvent and pigment. They differ significantly. First - in quality and color vibrancy. Solvent printing is more suited for banners and advertising production, and hanging a cheaply printed photo canvas at home can even be harmful to health, as solvent-type inks gradually release toxic substances. Our pigment printing and varnish are water-based and do not harm the printer, the environment, or the client. When properly prepared, this printing is durable and fade-resistant, remaining unchanged for many years - such reproductions are suitable for archiving.
