Open Edition Gouttelettes
Why is it different?
"Giclée" is becoming a dirty word; it has become the generic term for almost anything which has been printed digitally, whether the printing took place on a huge machine or the cheapest home colour printer and where technology generally requires the printer to use a coated paper. The new gouttelette process allows us to use the beautiful uncoated papers, which are better for image reproduction because they allow the ink more easily to travel down the paper fibres and into the sheet ("wicking"), and better for quality because the coating used on many coated papers can make the print more prone to fading. The gouttelette process, combined with the traditional skills and experience of our printing team, thus creates results far superior to the average digital print.
