What's a Giclee?
A Sophisticated and Widely Celebrated Printing Process
Giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”), is a highly sophisticated inkjet printing process that was introduced in the late 1980s. It’s so sophisticated, in fact, that it produces prints, which truly capture the artist's original intent. Even museums have realized the vast potential of this technology and have made giclee editions a permanent part of their collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) to name a few.

The Finest Materials Meet Cutting-Edge Technology
These prints are created from high-resolution digital images, using the finest quality ink and paper stock available, resulting in color saturation and image detail capture that exceeds other types of image reproduction.
 Here at pictureframes.com, giclee prints are generated on our 7-color Epson 9600 ink jet printers. These printers are often referred to as 8-color printers, but that’s because they include 2 types of black inks – matte black for fine art papers and canvases, as well as a black ink designed specifically for photo papers.
As you might imagine, the Epson 9600 produces amazingly detailed prints of both works of fine art and photographs. And, we use Epson Ultrachrome inks, exclusively, because of their archival quality and true colors. All of this guarantees you a museum-quality work of art that can be enjoyed for generations.
