Gicleé Prints
The French word “giclée” is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb “gicler” meaning “to squirt”. The term “giclée print” suggests an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper.
The giclée printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction. Paperback prints uses Redcliffe Imaging, a print company offering one of the highest degrees of accuracy and richness of colour available in any of the reproduction techniques. The print quality rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes.
Paperback prints uses Hahnemühle Albrecht Durer 210g paper for each print – sourced by Redcliffe Imaging from Hahnemühle – a German paper mill that has been producing mould made artist papers for over 425 years. Their range of products for fine art printing is an award winning collection of genuine artist papers in a variety of surfaces, base weights and structures.
