Giclees are available in various finishes and are among our most popular items.

 

The Definition Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclée" translates as sprayed or squirted liquid.  In French it is used as a noun, and has become the term in the United States that describes a finished product of sprayed ink.

 

CANVAS PRINTS are our most popular Giclees. Canvas Giclee prints can be finished in many different ways. You may choose from Gallery Wrapped, wrapped with an edge color of your choice, or printed to size for mounting on Masonite or Styrene Boards.  Standard sizes are available in our ROES software, but feel free to send a file using our Easy File Uploader or as an attachment to an email.

Paper Giclees are offered on a variety of papers:

Smooth Fine Art is a premium paper similar to one an artist would use for both sketching and painting. It gives you a subdued look for your paintings, sketches or photographs. The white base is more pure compared to photographic paper.

 

Textured Fine Art is like Smooth Fine Art, but it has an embedded textured surface resembling paper artists use for watercolors.  The paper is more absorbent so colors will not appear as saturated.

 

Premium Photo Lustre paper produces rich, vibrant color prints and black & white high impact prints. It has a very slight texture much like traditional luster photo paper. Lustre Paper is the most popular option when printing Black and White Giclees.

 

Matte Paper produces images that call for a flat subdued look and is a slightly lighter weight than the Premium Art Papers. It should be used when reflections are a problem when hanging on the wall.

 

Glossy Paper produces a high impact look with additional contrast. Commercial shots will jump off of this paper.  Glossy Paper is not the best option when framing behind glass.

 

Semi Matte Paper gives a compromise look between Matte and Glossy Papers. It is also a little thinner and lighter weight than those products.

 

Metallic Giclee Paper is very similar to our Glossy Paper but along with a high contrast finish it also has a shine in the finish that is more reflective, and like the name suggest can appear to consist of reflective metal.  This paper is very popular with artists who photograph high impact subjects.
