What is a giclee? Giclee (jhee-clay) is derived from the French word “gicleur”, which means “spray of ink”. A Giclee is a fine art print utilizing computers and high-end printers. Giclees are the highest quality reproductions being made today and are the closest thing you can get to an original. The giclee process begins with a detailed scan of the original artwork. Then, using state-of-the-art printers, millions of droplets of ink per second are sprayed onto archival paper or canvas. Supervising the process are highly trained technicians and professional colorist. While the giclee process is expensive the results are unparalleled.
