Giclée ( pronounced jhee-clay ) is the term coined for the latest generation of fine art reproduction. The term means “to spurt” in French and comes from the fact that a giclée printer is basically an inkjet printer taken to the extreme. Giclees are printed with a microscopic sized dot pattern allowing for virtual continuous tone printing. Using 10 different coloured inks we are able to capture a range of colours previously unheard of, resulting in the absolute highest quality print imaginable.
The stretched print option implies that the canvas giclée is stretched on a wood frame with a 1.5” (38mm) profile; the image is mirrored onto the sides of the canvas and is ready to be hung upon delivery. The giclée prints on fine art paper are made with neutral white, enhanced matte heavy weight (200-230gsm) paper, and this option is perfect if you’d like to customize your print with a frame that will compliment your home’s decor.
