Giclée is the first and only fine art print to be made with an ink jet printer. Pronounced, zhee’clay, the word comes from the French, meaning to spray.
The quality of a Giclée print is far superior to all other forms of printing. It fact, when done correctly, it’s the closest an artist can get to matching their original artwork.
Giclée prints are known for their exceptional color accuracy and detail, as well as their longevity. The ink used in giclee printing is archival, meaning it is designed to resist fading and yellowing over time, and the printing process itself allows for a wide color gamut and fine detail reproduction.
Giclée prints are often used to reproduce artwork, photography, and other types of fine art prints, and are typically printed on high-quality paper or canvas. Because of their high quality and longevity, giclee prints are often considered to be fine art in their own right and are prized by collectors and artists alike.
