What is a Giclée?

 

Technology always plays an important role in the art of any civilization. Artists throughout time have used the prevailing technology. At one time it was aquatints, now it may be a stylus attached to a digitized pad. It's just part of the artistic process.

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is French for "squirt" or "spray". The Giclée printing process is the premier method for reproducing art today. It combines the best possible attributes of the original art and state of the art technology.

NostalgiaArt markets Giclée prints that are produced on printers acknowledged to be the finest Giclée printers in the world. The printers are capable of spraying millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second.

These dots are so small that each droplet can only be viewed under a microscope. Instead of seeing dots, the human eye only registers a slow tonal gradation. Since the inks are all water-based, the entire process is nontoxic and environmentally safe.

When combined with 100% cotton fiber paper or canvas, these printers are capable of reproducing original works of art, paintings, and photographs with astounding accuracy and longevity.

By using the finest printers, inks, and substrates (archival papers and canvases) our printers are able to truly capture the artist's original intent. The right combination results in an unbelievable saturation and depth of color producing a beautiful finished product worthy of the respect of artists and art collectors alike. Giclées are prints befitting the definition of fine art in every way.

Our savings are passed on directly to you. With NostalgiaArt you can have the best of both worlds - the highest quality and remarkable prices.
