Not just a print. Its a Gicl'ee

A gicl'ee (zhee-clay) print is a high-quality, museum archival-grade fine art reproduction created using specialized, high-resolution inkjet printers that spray pigment-based inks onto acid-free paper or canvas. Pronounced in French for "to spray," these offer exceptional detail, color accuracy, and longevity, often lasting over 100 years without fading.

- ARCHIVAL MATERIALS: They use pigment- based inks instead of dye-based inks, which resist fading and environmental damage.

- HIGH RESOLUTION: Images are printed at up to 2880 DPI to ensure sharp detail and accurate color reproduction.

-;SUPERIOR COLOR: The printing process uses 8+ ink cartridged to produce a much broader, more vibrant colorgamut than standard printers

LONGEVITY: When properly cared for, gicl'ee prints are considered museum-quality and last for decades, making them highly prized for art reproductions and professional photography.
