What is Giclée
Derived from the French word meaning "to spray" or “to squirt”, the word Giclée (pronounced: zhee-clay) is used to describe a digital fine art printmaking process. Giclée prints are created using a high-resolution inkjet printer. Images or paintings are carefully scanned and reproduced using archival ultrachrome inks.

The process of fine art reproduction has been revolutionized with the development of Giclée printing. Giclée are digital reproductions of original artwork. Produced directly from a digital file, these prints save you from generations of detail-robbing negatives and printing plates.

The chosen medium (fine art paper or canvas) is individually mounted onto a drum which rotates during the printing process. While this drum spins a fine stream of ink droplets spray onto the chosen medium. Since there are no screens used in Giclée printing, the prints are produced at a higher resolution than lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy. This process also has a far wider color gamut rendering Giclée superior to traditional printing options. The colors are brighter, the prints last longer, and they are so high-resolution that they have virtually continuous tone.
Giclée reproductions can be printed on a variety of substrates or mediums.
