Giclée explained, Your Image, Scanning & other info
OK so what exactly is a Giclée print and why is it the bees knees in the art world?
Giclée (pronounced 'gee-clay' ) is from a French word meaning 'little squirt' and refers to spraying fine drops of ink or dye onto paper or canvas. Giclée is used to describe a fine art digital printing process combining pigment based inks with high quality archival quality paper to achieve a Giclée print of superior archival quality, light fastness and stability. Used by galleries and museums worldwide and recognised as a fine art print.
Using your image:
we need a high resolution image (jpg, tif, Bmp, GIF, PNG) preferably 300 dpi (example: to get an 8 x 10" print your image needs to be 2400 x 3000 pixels) If you are unable to provide a hard copy as a colour guide we suggest you obtain an A4 PROOF (£8.50 inc postage) which we will post out to you for approval.
Working from your files`: any additional work to tidy up the files, such as background cut-out, removing marks and adjustments to correct poor scanning or photography is charged at our usual rate of £35 per hour.
Scanning: scan and colour match your original artwork
