Giclée Prints
Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is the printing method galleries and museums actually use for archival reproductions. It uses pigment based ink instead of regular dye ink, which holds true color for decades instead of fading within a couple years like a standard photo print. It's not just a fancier name for the same process, it's a genuinely different and better one.
We print every piece in-house on Sunset Velvet Rag, a 100% cotton rag paper with a soft, etching like texture built specifically for museum quality, limited edition printing. It's acid free and buffered at the core, so the paper itself is made to hold up over time, not just look good the day it arrives. Each print comes off our large format printer using museum grade pigment inks, then it's checked by hand before it ships.
