The Superior Quality of Giclée Printing The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.

There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée: Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI).

This is to ensure the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.

Giclées are printed using pigment- based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets.

Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
