Giclée Printing

Giclée (jhee-clay) - Derived from the french verb "gicler" meaning to squirt. The term giclee print typically connotes a certain elevation in printmaking technology.  Images are high resolution digital scans printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates.  The giclee process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.

Giclée prints (also known as Iris prints) are advantageous to artists who find it not feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed.

Once an image is archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and cost.  Thus the up-front cost of mass production is eliminated and printing is done on demand.

Another tremendous advantage to Giclée printing is that artwork can be
reproduced to almost any size and on various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
