What are Giclée Prints vs Regular Photo Prints?
If you’re looking for prints that endure, whether for a gallery exhibition or to decorate your home, choosing between different printing methods can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to printing. Let’s delve into the basics of giclee prints versus photo prints to help you decide which method best suits your needs.
Giclée Printing
Giclee is a specialized art printing technique that uses premium archival ink and paper to produce exceptionally detailed and visually stunning prints. This process employs inkjet technology to precisely spray fine ink dots onto the paper, accurately replicating the original image. Giclee printers use special 12 pigment-based inks, which is a notable improvement over standard printers. This broader color range, combined with precise spraying methods, ensures more accurate reproductions of artwork and photographs. Giclee printing allows artists to replicate a wide variety of art forms with remarkable fidelity.
Traditional Photo Printing
Photo prints, in contrast, are created by reproducing images on chemically sensitized paper, not ‘archival quality.’ This process involves exposing the paper to a photographic negative or a digital image file, resulting in a print produced by a specialty printer or digital exposure unit. Often preferred by photographers aiming to replicate captured scenes, photo prints are typically made on glossy paper, which offers increased scratch resistance but can introduce more glare.
Giclée and Traditional Photo Prints, the Difference
A key difference between giclee prints and photo prints lies in their quality. Giclee printers, combined with high-quality materials, produce archival art prints that exceed the standard of photo prints. This enhanced quality is due to the broader color spectrum and intricate details that giclee printers can achieve, thanks to their 12-color ink set and precise spraying techniques. Additionally, giclee prints are significantly more durable because they use acid-free paper materials, which prevent yellowing and fading over time. If you are looking for a top-tier, long-lasting print, fine art giclee printing is the best choice.
