What is a giclée fine art print?
The term ‘giclée’ describes a method of printing using pigment-based archival quality inks. It is widely recognised as the gold standard of fine art printing. The pigment-based inks are far superior in their fade resistance when compared to dye-based inks used in traditional printing technologies such as lithography. In fact, a giclée print will last well over 100 years! Giclée printers also produce exceptional richness and colour accuracy when compared to other printing methods.
What does archival mean?
The word archival in art is used to describe the high standard of longevity and durability of the materials used. Your print will be produced using both archival paper and inks, ensuring that your print will not yellow or fade over time.

How should I handle my print?
Giclée prints are quite delicate, especially the printed image surface. When handling your wildlife print, be careful not to touch the printed surface as this could cause marks or scratches to the image. Instead, hold the print using the edges of the paper, and make sure you keep your hands and surfaces clean to avoid marking the paper.
