What
is a "giclee" print?
|
A giclee
(pronounced "zheeclay") is a French word meaning, "fine
spray". It is a computer generated print that is
produced by the spraying of an image on to fine art
paper. We produce our own giclees by taking a high
quality scan of the original artwork, then print them
using a high quality printer. The inks used are
specially formulated so that the fine print heads can
spurt jets of ink in minute droplets at a resolution of
1440 dpi. The paper (or acetate, in the case of layered
prints) used is specially prepared to accept this type
of printing. As with other fine art printing processes,
the artist approves "proofs" of the art print to insure
that the right tone, depth and color is produced.
Until
recently inkjet prints were disappointingly fugitive
with noticeable fading occurring quite quickly. However,
dramatic improvements have been made to the inks used
and the paper or canvas accepted by printers. Recent
tests show that giclee-quality inkjet prints can have a
light- fast life expectancy of 100 to 200 years. When
prints are produced on good quality paper, the print
should possess archival standards of permanence
comparable or better than other collectible artwork. The
visual quality of the print is extremely high and the
color saturation and definition stunning.
