Frequently asked questions
What does FAQ stand for?

What’s a Giclée?
Now you’re asking.
Giclée printing provides the highest quality and archival properties of any digital printing.
The word Giclée (pronounced ‘Jee-Klay’ with a soft J), comes from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray”.
Our true Giclée prints deliver unrivalled colour accuracy; superior black & whites, exceptional colour gamut and sublimely smooth gradient transitions.
Giclée printers use a higher quality of fade-resistant, archival, pigment-based inks. Your Giclée Print will be printed using best-in-class printers and 12-colour pigment inks. When applied to high quality archival substrates, e.g. the Hahnemühle cotton-based, Rag paper, this results in an unbeatable archival lifespan of up to 200 years.
Is your paper eco-friendly?
YES FRIEND!
We use beautiful Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm paper for all our prints. It’s our favourite paper, because it looks awesome AND is 100% responsibly sourced.
This is a supreme quality fine art paper manufactured from clear spring water and high-quality fibrous raw material, acid free, chlorine-free, lignin free, lightfast and extremely age resistant (archival; more than 100 years of fun). Ingredients: 100% Cotton
With its characteristic and wonderfully soft feel, the surface has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel which creates smooth colour gradients. The premium matte coating produces outstanding prints with brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and excellent reproduction of detail.
Is your printing and shipping eco-friendly?
YES FRIEND!

Trees? Wha? Why?
Planting trees is essential for our planet.
Approximately 17% of climate change is caused by our loss of trees, an impact on global greenhouse gas emissions even greater than the entire transport sector.
We cannot fight climate change without solving deforestation.
With every purchase from kuchiku, you can celebrate yourself and the fact that a tree, carefully selected to provide appropriate benefits for it’s location, will be planted on Earth – as a direct result of your discerning taste in arts and canny choices.
