Advantages of Giclee


The Advantages of Giclee

Giclee permits artists and photographers to have their work produced to the highest quality without mass producing, instead they can reproduce when it is required or ‘on demand’.

Upon request Image Centre UK archive any image printed or scanned. This means additional Giclee prints can be printed cost effectively. One can produce a limited edition run and avoid high priced high volume print runs.

Archiving allows artists to archive their images and re-sell prints years after selling original works.

Finally, and most significantly our Giclee printing workflow produces high-resolution files sizes that can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media. You can customise your prints to suit any given project.
