What is a Giclee Print?
- Jack Duganne created the term "gilcée" in 1991. He was looking for a print medium term expressing the collaborations of fine arts and new digital printmaking.
- Quality is superior to traditional lithography and used in museums, galleries and private collections.
- Images have all the tonality and hues of the original work of art. Museum-quality archival images are color stable for one-hundred years.
- With high-resolution printers, richness of color and depth make reproductions virtually indistinguishable from original artwork. Dot patterns are invisible to the naked eye.
- Does not use standard desktop ink jet printer but professional 8 to 12-color inkjet printers that spray micro droplets for color accuracy.
- Quality rivals traditional printing processes by using archival-pigmented ink. Stored digitally gives quality and control to the artist without the need of extra space.
- Reproducing art on demand, gives artists the ability to customize prints for customers at a cost-effective price.
