Heirloom Quality Giclée Prints on Archival Paper

In the art community, the term for archival print is “giclée” pronounced, zhee’clay. The word comes from the French, meaning to spray. It’s a fancy way to say the prints are done on large format inkjet printers. A 12 color inkjet printer squirts special pigments onto archival quality material, in our case - 100% cotton paper. Because of the pigments and quality print materials, giclée or archival prints demonstrate great resolution and have longevity with fade-resistant colors. 

Local and many online printers use dye-sublimation printers. I own a couple of them that I use in my photo booth and on-site printing business. The prints look great but they will fade and lose color quickly when displayed. This is especially true if the images are displayed in areas that get natural sunlight. 

I’m excited to get your photographs enhanced and to the printer. Please let me know if you have any other questions or would like to order additional archival photos.
