Giclee prints

Giclee (shee-klay): The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid.
The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".

The term "giclee print" describes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are high resolution digital
scans printed with archival quality inks onto various media including canvas, fine art and photo-base
paper. The giclee printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction. As
regards quality, the giclee print now rivals many traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and
is commonly found in museums, art galleries and photographic galleries. Numerous examples of giclee
prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the
trendy Chelsea Galleries.
.
Giclee prints are created typically using high-end 8-Color to 12-Color InkJet printers. Among the
manufacturers of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan and Hewlett
Packard. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for the fine
art market. Giclee is accepted by the Fine Art Guild and, if the right medium is used, prints are colour-fast
for over 75 years.
