INTRODUCING
GICLÉE PRINTS The art of fine art printing has become
even more precise with the advent of the revolutionary
Giclée(ghee-clay) printing process.
A Giclée print is as rewarding visually as it is technically
amazing. For brilliant,
exquisite color and razor sharp detail it is unsurpassed.
This type of art reproduction is quickly becoming the new
standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for its quality by
major museums, galleries, publishers, and artists.
A Giclée print is simply the closest duplication of an original
artwork that is humanly, mechanically, or technically possible. The cornerstone of this process are
enhanced digital ink jet printers which are specifically designed for
the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art collectors and
connoisseurs of museum quality, limited edition prints. The work Giclée itself is French, and
means spurt or squirt, in this case meaning, “spray of ink”. From a hundred ink
jets more than a million droplets of ink per second are sprayed on a
canvas or watercolor paper spinning on a drum.
Once completed an image is comprised of almost twenty billion
droplets of ink. The latest
Giclée printing technology enhanced the standard four-color process to
an eight-color process. The resulting print has no perceptible
dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated color, and every
nuance of the original image. The
most archival, water based light-fast inks available in the world are
used. The latest inks
guarantee a 70-year light-fastness and a UV-resistance under
museum archival condition. Beyond this description, a Giclée print
simply must be seen to be fully appreciated.
Fine Art Galleries across the country are warmly receiving Giclées.
Giclée prints have an impressive exhibition record.
They have been shown in museums and galleries throughout the
world. A few examples are:
