A Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay") is produced from a digitally-scanned
electronic file of the original work. In the Giclee printing process,
each piece is carefully hand-mounted onto a drum which rotates during printing.
This produces over three million colors of highly-saturated, nontoxic, water-based
ink. A fine stream of ink (more than four million droplets per second) is sprayed
onto archival art paper producing deep, saturated colors and a paint-like quality
that retains meticulous detail. Giclees are usually produced in smaller
editions than Lithographs and capture every nuance of an original painting. Displaying
a full-color spectrum, Giclee prints are attractive to fine art collectors
desiring museum quality prints.
