About Giclée

The term "Giclée print" represents a vast step forward in print making technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks on to various medium including canvas, fine art, and photo base-paper. The Giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.

Numerous examples of Giclée prints can be found in museums throughout the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Art and the British Museum. The print will deliver archival results with reported light fastness ratings of up to 90 years.

About Arches Infinity Paper (Used for Giclée prints)

The Arches paper mills in the Vosages region of eastern France have been producing high-quality artist paper for more than 500 years. The secret of paper making of Arches is the use of 100% natural fibers (cotton) and the traditional cylinder mould method. Another thing that distinguishes all Arches papers is the fact that no optical brightening agents (OBA) are used in the making. Arches has just released a new brand of paper, made especially for inkjet printing: Arches Infinity Museum Quality Digital Photo and Fine Art Paper. It's made with the same Arches Cold Press and Hot Press paper except that instead of tub sizing in gelatin, a proprietary inkjet receptor coating is applied after the paper is made. Arches Infinity paper is 100% cotton, ph-neutral, acid-free, lignin-free and OBA-free. The weight used with these prints is 355gsm (140lb.) in a textured finish.
