About Archival Quality Giclees.

Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a French word which means "to spray", a
term that refers to the way ink is applied to paper by a special
large-format, 6-color ink-jet printer. Giclee prints are the most beautiful
and accurate art reproductions that have ever been made; and now, using
recently developed archival inks and papers, they are also among the most
archival. Independent testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research Inc. (a
world-leader in image-longevity testing) has established that Giclee prints
made with the very finest archival paper and archival pigmented-inks will
last as long as 200 years before any noticeable shift in color integrity
occurs. They are truly museum-quality Fine-Art reproductions.

With the advent of giclée, the art of reproducing fine art works has become
even more precise. Giclées have the highest apparent resolution available
because they use a spray of ink rather than a dot pattern. In addition,
since no screens are used, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than
lithographs and a color range that exceeds that of serigraphy. Please
remember that all artwork, fine-art reproductions and original oil
paintings, must be kept away from direct sunlight.
