History of Giclée Printing

Giclée printing is a printmaking method that uses a digitised image outputted from a computer to a large format printer.

The term “giclée” is derived from the French word for “spray” and was first coined by Jack Duganne, a printmaker.

What Is A Giclée Print?

To qualify for the title of a “giclée print”, it should be made on archival quality coated paper and printed with pigment-based archival inks, which are UV stable.

The Fine Art Trade Guild has set minimum standards for a giclée print – it must score 6 or greater on the Blue Wool Scale for light fastness and be between 7pH – 10pH, on a minimum substrate of 250gsm.

The visual quality of print results is extremely high, with seemingly continuous tone prints without dots, lines or barring.
