●Giclée and
Fine Art Printing Information
●
What exactly is Giclée? You can find a great definition and explanation at the Wikipedia Giclée page. A summary of their information is that Giclée is a name to describe the process of developing fine art prints from a digital source, using ink-jet printing. Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field of producing fine art prints, first coined the name. This was in the early 1990s. On a per print basis, the process of Giclée printing can be quite costly in comparison to a standard four color offset lithography. Artists could easily spend close to, or more, than a thousand dollars per image for a limited number of prints. However, artists can now offer high quality Giclée prints at unprecedented prices through a company such as ImageKind. Because of ImageKind’s adherence to high standards, high quality printers, papers, and inks, and most important, print on demand service, artists can now offer prints to their collectors at prices unheard of for this type of quality service and product in the art industry.

However, if you would like to see an actual sampling of the papers, you can order the ImageKind’s Media Kit paper samples for $14.95. You will also receive $15 off your next order.
