Can you provide a giclee prints definition and what are the differences between giclee prints and laser prints?
Our photographs and original artworks are available in giclee prints as well as laser prints. In short, giclee prints are higher quality than laser prints, which is why they are more expensive. Sometimes spelt giclée as it came from the French word which means to spray, it was first called this by Jack Duganne and used for fine art prints produced on inkjet printers. These printers literally work by utilising small spraying devices which are able to apply the ink in a very precise way. Voila, a high quality print! Laser prints are good quality but just not as precise as the more 'fine art,’ giclee prints.
