Giclee

What is Giclee?
Giclee (pronounced"zhee-clay") refers to the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. In giclee printing, no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen patterns. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting!

How long do they stay looking sharp?
When the giclee is made the artists uses special light-fast inks, which, if kept out of the sun, will remain true for up to 25 years. The giclee printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction. The quality is so great it is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.

How are they made?
Giclee prints are created typically 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.
