Fine art is:
"..creative art, especially visual art whose
products are to be appreciated primarily or solely for their imaginative,
aesthetic or intellectual content" according to the Oxford English
Dictionary.
A
Digital Fine Art print is defined by meeting the same standards as
any other fine art medium, and it is produced using archival quality surfaces and
inks. It is designed to last a life time.
Archival inks and papers are museum-quality
materials which are designed for longevity and beauty. Papers are acid-free,
preventing yellowing and distortion of color. Archival inks are less likely to
fade.
What is a Giclée Print?
Giclée (pronounced "jhee-clay") is a French word meaning "spurting
ink". A giclée is a high resolution digital print and is a
recognized fine art print category like lithographs and serigraphs.
Giclée is considered the world’s best technique for
reproducing original works of art and for printing digitally created art
and fine art photography.
Giclée prints look and feel like original art.
A giclée is often produced on canvas or a
high quality rag paper like watercolor paper with an archival ink. Giclée art is
very stable, and resistant to fading and color shifts. Estimates of longevity
for giclée prints is usually around 100 years with proper care.
