What is Giclee?
The termĀ  "giclee print" represents a vast step forward in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various medium including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. Many websites state Giclee means "to spray"... those websites are wrong.

Giclee prints are created using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets.

Why choose Giclee?
Giclee prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and reasonable cost. This process eliminates the up-front cost of mass production for an edition. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film inherently do. Another tremendous advantage of giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.

Numerous examples of giclee prints can be found in museums throught the world including the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Art and the British Museum.
