What is a Gicleé Print?
Gicleé is a French term meaning “to spray.” Large format inkjet printers use small spraying devices that can both match color and apply ink precisely, giving artists a high-quality print of their original art. The prints sold here are open editions. This means that the number of prints that can be created and sold from one image is unlimited.

How to Frame It Yourself
Work on paper and gicleé prints look best under glass, with a 2” or 3” acid-free matt. Most art supply stores sell single matts and glass/metal framing kits for the smaller sizes. For your convenience, I have listed the matt and frame size for each of the most common sizes sold here:

If the gicleé is 9 x 12,” the matt and frame should be 12 x 16”
If the gicleé is 12 x 16,” the matt and frame should be 16 x 20”
If the gicleé is 18 x 24,” the matt and frame should be 24 x 30”

Gicleé Specs
Gicleé fine art prints are made from a high resolution image using an Epson 9800 printer with eight color K3 Ultrachrome inkset. This archival* quality paper is acid and lignen-free and 100 % cotton, 300 gm with a smooth surface. Giclee printing uses pigment-based inks rather than the dye based inks found in most common inkjet printers.

Care
Like a lot of original work on paper, gicleé prints are damaged by both humidity and UV rays. In other words, they can get moldy in tropical climates and can fade under direct sunlight. Limit their exposure by hanging them on a wall that does not receive direct sunlight during any season or time of the day. In tropical climates, try to hang them inside air-conditioned rooms.

*Archival is an industry term used to describe something that is resistant to deterioration with excellent longevity.
