What is Giclée printing?

Giclée printing is a high-quality process that uses inkjet technology to reproduce artwork or images with remarkable detail, colour accuracy, and tonal range. The term “giclée” (pronounced “zhee-clay”) is derived from the French word for “spray,” referring to the method in which ink is sprayed onto the paper during the printing process.

This technique is commonly used for reproducing fine art, photographs, and other creative works, as it produces prints with vibrant, long-lasting colours. Our giclée prints are printed on archival, museum-quality paper and use pigment-based inks, which are more resistant to fading than dye-based inks. Artists, photographers, and galleries often use giclée printing to create limited edition prints that closely match the original work.

How quickly can I get my prints?

We ship every Thursday using Royal Mail’s tracked 48-hour service. We can usually print your order on the same day we receive it (if received before midday). If you require an express service, please get in touch, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs!

Preparing Your Artwork for Print

Start by ensuring the image has a high resolution of at least 300 dpi and is saved in RGB mode at the desired print size. If your print is full bleed (all the way to the edges of the paper), please include a 3mm bleed area around each edge of the image. This ensures the artwork reaches the edge of the print once trimmed. If you’re unsure about artwork setup, we offer ready-made templates for you to download here. If a template for your size is unavailable, please contact us, and we’ll assist with any file setup queries you may have.
