A Giclée Print, also known as a ‘Pigment’ Print, refers to a print whereby an inkjet printer physically lays ink on paper or canvas.
For our Giclée Printing service, we utilise Epson SureColour p2000 printers and Epson UltraChrome PRO pigment inks, which produce exceptional colour and black and white prints. We exclusively use pigment inks tailored for high-grade archival fine art papers, for longevity and stability, offering superior resistance to light, humidity, and moisture.
