Similarly, it is asked, what is the difference between a giclee and a print?
It is a process that uses a 12 color ink jet printer, acid free papers, and pigment based archival inks. This insures that your prints will never degrade or yellow over time and allows a better longevity. Giclee printing allows the artist to provide a quality product for their customers that will never fade.
Likewise, do giclee prints have texture? Giclee is a French term which means to spray ink and is pronounced "jee-clay". Giclee prints can be done on a variety of materials. While the giclee print is an excellent reproduction of the original painting, my giclee prints do not have the raised texture that is characteristic of most of my original paintings.
how much should I sell my giclee prints for?
A high quality archival giclee the same size as your original can be valued at 1/3rd of the cost of the original. So, if your original 18×24 painting sells for $3000 you can ask $1000 for each 18×24 giclee. We have artists that sell their giclees above and below the 1/3rd mark.
How long will giclee prints last?
(a world-leader in image-longevity testing) has established that these “Archival Prints”/”Giclee Prints” will last around 200 years before any noticeable shift in color integrity occurs. This longevity is achieved when stored in total darkness and under the right atmospheric conditions.
