TECHNIQUE


Giclée – also known as Fine Art – is a digital printing technique that allows us to reproduce works of art (paintings, photographs or digital images) with maximum precision and resolution, based on a high-quality digital file.

The French word giclée¬, /ʒiːkleɪ/, comes from the verb gicler which means to spray, spout or squirt. This inkjet printing technique involves applying the pigment in the form of microscopic droplets sprayed onto the support. This process allows us to reproduce weaves, patterns and continuous tones, and thus achieve high-quality detail in the images.

It results in incredibly high-quality prints, using UltraChrome pigmented inks and top range acid-free paper, whose images can endure for over a hundred years.

This printing technology is considered – by Calcografía Nacional and the print councils of the world’s most prestigious museums – as an original graphic work, even equating it to chalcographic engraving, screen-printing or lithography. Currently, many artists choose this technique to reproduce their work in limited editions in order to market them and exhibit them in museums, galleries and art collections around the world.
