A giclée print (also called archival pigment print) is the closest possible replication of an original artwork that is possible. The process uses pigment-based inks, archival quality paper and a wide format inkjet printer.
Likewise, are giclee prints numbered?
Usually giclée print runs will number around 100, this generally ensures the limited run of prints maintains rarity and collectability, but not so low as to prevent customers from finding them. However, any artist can dictate their own number of prints for their giclée print runs.
One may also ask, can I print on archival paper?
When archival matte papers are printed with high-quality color pigment inks from Epson, Canon, or HP, the prints can last more than 100 years if they are properly stored or framed with conservation-grade, chemically stable materials.
