"A true giclée print refers to an archival print made from an inkjet printer equipped with a highly permanent set of inks in a wide range of colors. Artists, galleries, and collectors seek out giclée prints because of their unmatched standard of digital reproduction, and archival longevity." - from Brooklyn Editions

My giclées are made in a printshop specialized in this work. They use 12 colours to print it, so the end result is closer to the original work. They combine mineral pigment-based paints with archival quality paper for longevity.

Aging estimates – based on laboratory tests – point to a resistance to fading and colour change of more than 200 years under ideal conditions (storage in the dark at 22.7ºC and 50% RH), and up to 86 years when exposed under glass.

All made with love in Portugal.

Both prints and originals on paper are shipped inside a PLA (more eco-friendly) or OPP envelope* to protect them from humidity. They're also wrapped, and then cardboard is added for support/to avoid bending. Then it is shipped in a cardboard envelope.

*It's not ideal, but necessary, and I'm always on the lookout for more sustainable alternatives.
