Are they Giclée? Yes! But to clarify, everything printed on an inkjet printer is a giclée print because that is what the term means. Artists and galleries like the term 'Giclée Print' because it sounds more artistic than 'inkjet print', though generally it tends to refer to better quality inkjet printers. To quote Wikipedia:

"The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.

Ian Maclean set up the printing side. He has been a photographer since the age of 11, winning his first prize in 1969, and is now using his skills to create state of the art Canvas and Paper prints. His knowledge of the subject comes from a lifetime of experience of photography and graphic design, a Physics degree and professional computer skills. This combination of artistic awareness and technical knowledge makes his prints among the best you can buy.

Our printer is an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 using 11 inks, uniquely including orange and green, not found on any other printer. These bring a greater richness to subjects such as sunsets and landscapes than all other printers, which use only the usual variations of cyan, magenta, yellow. and black.
The inks in this model of printer are claimed to last 200 years. Scientific tests have shown that at least 86 years is genuine before any sign of fading shows.
