Print service description<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Gicl\u00e9e<\/strong> printing with archival-level<\/strong> pigment inks is a very high-end method for reproducing works of art or photos.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Gicl\u00e9e<\/h3>\n<\/div>

It’s a print made with a very precise inkjet printer, capable of reproducing the fine details of a work of art as well as very rich colors on paper or canvas supports. This is the most precise reproduction technique.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pigment ink<\/h3>\n<\/div>

This type of ink is made up of solid pigments (unlike dye-based inks). It is more resistant to light, UV rays and time, so colors don’t fade quickly. On cotton or canvas paper, prints can last over 400 years when properly framed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Archive level<\/h3>\n<\/div>

This means that the materials used (inks, paper) are designed to last a very long time, often several decades or even hundreds of years, without yellowing, fading or spoiling. Ideal for preserving works of art destined to become collector’s items.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

In short, Gicl\u00e9e printing with archival-level pigment inks is a technique that produces highly faithful reproductions with long-lasting colors, perfect for artists, gallery owners or collectors who want their works to last over time, while being as faithful to the originals as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Print quality depends on the quality of the digitized artwork. Affranchi Impression also offers an art digitization service to help you achieve optimal print quality!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
