giclee (zhee-klay): the french word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means "a fine spray".
a "giclee print" marks an elevation in printmaking technology. images are generated from high resolution digital scans of existing art work and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. the giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
a very advanced ink-jet printer uses minute droplets of ink to create prints with no visible dot screen pattern. the quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art and photographic galleries. the colors are brighter and long lasting. the range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper. giclee printing offers a whole new vibrant medium for art.
numerous examples of giclee prints can be found at the metropolitan museum, the museum of modern art, and the chelsea galleries in new york city.
