Description
Giclée prints are high-grade productions of works of art. The giclée fine art print is a contemporary digital printing technique which meets the highest requirements set for graphic work by artists, museums, and art collectors. Just like the Fine Art print and the photo print, the giclée fine art print has conquered an equivalent position in the art world among the better known traditional graphic arts such as the etching, silkscreen, and lithography.
Various museums in the world exhibit giclées instead of the original works of art when the originals are too vulnerable to be displayed. This testifies to the giclée as a quality tour the force, provided all requirements set by museums are satisfied, including the ISO 9706 and NEN2728 standards, and provided the giclées are produced in a high-quality process.
