Fine Art Giclee printing:
Giclee printing defines an advancement in printmaking technology that is changing the very
nature of fine art reproductions and marketing.
The Definition:
Giclee prints (pronounced, "gee-clay"), from the French word meaning a spray of liquid, are
created from high-resolution digital captures of original fine artwork, and printed with professional level 7-color
to 12-colorwide format ink-jet printers using archival quality inks. The prints can be made on various surfaces matching the
original medium, such as canvas, watercolor, and photo-base paper.
The Giclee printing process, carried out by the master technician, provides better color accuracy
than any other means of reproduction.
The Quality:
The quality of the Giclee print rivals traditional photographic silver-halide and gelatin printing
processes as well as lithographic reproductions. Fine art Giclee prints are accepted by museums, fine art galleries
and photographic galleries.
