Here is some information from our printing company: FineArt print Factory: What is a FineArt giclée print?
"Giclée comes from French and literally means “to spray”, which in this case refers to the process of transferring ink onto paper. (....) The reproduction of a work of art, a photograph or a digitally generated work produced on an inkjet printer is generally referred to as giclée. (....)" Quoted with kind permission from: ‘The Art of Expression’ - ‘Guideline for Digital FineArt Printing’ by Hahnemühle In 2003, Epson registered the term ‘Digigraphie’ as a protected European trademark (R). Manufacturers of fine art prints that meet the criteria of this quality mark are permitted to use the term ‘Digigraphie (R)’. Enormous technological advances in the development of printing technology now enable rasterless true-colour art prints and photo prints that can rightly be called fine art prints. The professionally produced fine art giclée prints on the best fine art printing materials impress artists and photographers alike. In order to meet the demanding quality and durability requirements (according to the manufacturer, at least 75 years) for artistic and photographic works, we print the valuable fine art materials we use exclusively in a unidirectional manner with original Epson Ultra Chrome K3 pigment inks in up to 11 colours (HDR) at the highest possible resolution for your print data, using calibrated and profiled workflow technology. The quality and durability of black-and-white and colour prints on Hahnemühle FineArt and PhotoArt media, as well as on papers and substrates from other manufacturers certified for fine art printing, is far superior to the options available to date, especially for medium and large formats. Authentic reproduction with perfect, neutral grey gradations and the widest possible colour gamut with the finest detail is our claim for the realisation of your individual print and your limited edition.
