The Truth about Archival Quality Prints
| "Our giclee prints are done on a 64 head 256 color printer, capable of printing in resolutions up to 50,000dpi. By utilizing the same archival paper that has been a standard at the Vatican for decades, we ensure that your print will last as long - or longer - than most sacred documents of our time."
Sounds silly, doesn't it? The truth is, there is a lot of misinformation out there in regards to what constitutes a giclee print which leads to a lot of assumptions.
The Facts
Giclee prints are printed with archival quality inks (usually from an inkjet printer, or something that sprays ink instead of a press) onto paper. Surprisingly, "archival quality" is not a factor for the paper itself. Aside from that, there isn't a whole lot of standardization in regards to what makes a giclee print, which is why many people are confused when it comes to getting them.
Full Blown Color has a variety of options for you to consider when choosing a giclee print, and the experience to help you make an informed decision. Three of the four digital printers at FBC are currently equipped to print giclee quality art on canvas, heavyweight bond, acid-free cover stock and other papers.
