About Giclée
Giclée – pronounced “zhee-clay” is a derivative of the French word “gicler” meaning “to spurt”. It is a coined term for the process of making high quality fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. Artists generally use giclée inkjet printing to make reproductions of their original two-dimensional artwork, photographs or computer-generated art.
The process to create a “giclée print” represents arelatively new advancement in printmaking technology and produces better color control and accuracy than anyother current means of image reproduction. Original artwork is translated digitally with high resolution scans, digital cameras or computerized art programs and printedusing professional color ink-jet printers. High quality archival inks are used on a variety of surfaces includingcanvas, fine art papers and photo papers. The quality ofthe giclée print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums and galleries.
For artists this process is most advantageous because they can reproduce their artwork on-demand with minimal effort and manageable cost. The high cost of mass production for an edition is eliminated and each image can be printed on demand. The digital files are archived until they are needed and will not inherently deteriorate as does the older film process. Also, with the giclée process a print can be made to accommodate a variety sizes and onto a variety of media, which gives the artist another option for customization with each client. So you can contact me for other options.
