What is Archival Inkjet Printing?
Archival inkjet printing, often called giclée, is a high-quality printing method that uses fine art inks and premium papers to produce stunning, long-lasting reproductions of your artwork. This technique recreates tons of detail, from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights, ensuring your prints reflect the true beauty and colors of your original piece. Designed to last for decades without fading, giclée prints are the standard for fine art reproduction and are a perfect choice for artists seeking museum-quality results.
