About Giclee Printing
The
Definition : Giclee (zhee-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 : The term "giclee print" connotes an
elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from
high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality
inks onto various substrates including canvas and fine art paper.
The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than
other means of reproduction.
The
Process : Giclee prints are created typically using professional
8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. Among the manufacturers
of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan,
& Hewlett-Packard. These modern technology printers are capable
of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art
and photographic markets.
