Frequently Asked Questions

A giclée (pronounced zhee-CLAY) is a high-quality inkjet print made using archival pigment inks on acid-free fine art paper. The process reproduces colour with exceptional accuracy and fine detail, and produces prints that last far longer than standard photo prints — decades rather than years. Giclée is the standard production method for fine art reproductions and museum-quality prints worldwide.

UK prints are printed in-house on a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310, using archival pigment inks on heavyweight acid-free fine art paper. International orders are fulfilled by a print-on-demand partner with facilities closer to you — produced regionally rather than shipped across the world. This keeps transit distances short, reduces packaging waste, and means your print arrives faster.

Giclée prints produced with archival pigment inks and acid-free paper are rated to retain their colour for 70–100 years or more under normal indoor conditions. The main factors affecting longevity are UV light exposure and humidity — both of which can be managed with careful display and framing choices.

Avoid direct sunlight — UV exposure is the primary cause of fading over time. Framing behind UV-protective glass significantly extends the life of the print. Keep away from moisture and humidity, do not roll or fold the paper (it creases permanently), and store flat in the original protective packaging if left unframed.

An original is a unique, hand-painted watercolour — one of a kind. No two originals are alike, and each carries the marks and texture of the painting process. A giclée print is a high-fidelity reproduction of an original, produced to order. Prints are available in multiple sizes and can be shipped to many international destinations; originals are available for UK delivery only.
