Giclée

Paper or material-based paper type used in printing black and white images from negatives (C-type). Available in all surface finishes, this thicker paper has a high-quality texture, gives an excellent finish, and adds ‘depth’ to the image through the faint weave of the paper/fibre.

Matt, gloss, supergloss, satin and pearl are all finishes available on different paper types. Satin and pearl are different names for the same finish (somewhere between gloss and matt).

P.F.T.s, or Print Film Transparencies, are positive colour reproductions from original negatives, produced as transparencies.

Toning can be used as an aesthetic decision by the artist, or it can also be used to improve the archival properties of a print….
