What is Giclée printing?
Fine art giclée printing is a term coined by a printmaker named Jack Duganne for a fine art digital print made on inkjet printers that produce high-quality prints. It is based on the French word gicleur, a French term for an inkjet nozzle. The word “gicler” is a french verb that means “to spray or to squirt.”
It was a major break through in the fine art community when giclee reproductions were introduced to the market in the late 1980s . The quality of a giclee print is far superior to all other forms of printing. Giclée stands for assured longevity of any artwork. On top of being long-lasting, giclee prints provide the most high-quality, detailed types of prints available to consumers.
GICLEE ART PRINT
When applying ink on a giclee art print the ink jet is applied in microscopic droplets. The colors and tones on the giclee art print are absolutely smooth and applied with extreme accuracy. Many photographers and artists alike, including myself, love using giclee printing for their clients.
