Giclee Giclee (zhee-clay) is a French term, in this case meaning "spray of ink". An Iris ink jet print on watercolour paper is known as a giclee.
A giclee is a means of reproducing an original. It is not an original graphic but a fine quality reproduction print. In many cases, that quality is high enough to reproduce an original in a way that many find superior to that of a serigraph or lithograph. Many artists have chosen giclee prints precisely for this reason: they want the finest rendition possible of their originals,
It is an amazing print technique that truly captures the essence of an original painting. With watercolour, the washes flow onto the paper, and the colours can be as bold or subtle as you want them to be, Even the white of the paper shows through in the same way as the original.
With oil, the process captures the true texture of a piece. The giclee process really saturates the colours, and accurately presents the textures found in an oil painting, allowing viewers to feel the quality of the original in the giclee print
The professional workmanship provides a high level of quality. The apparent resolution of the digital print is 1,800 dots per inch, which is higher than a traditional lithographic print and has a wider colour gamut than serigraphy. Giclee prints render deep, saturated colours and have a beautiful painterly quality that retains minute detail, subtle tints and blends.
With giclees, the tools have changed as the technology has changed. There' is still plenty of human involvement, from the creation of the original, to the choice of using giclees by the artist and publisher, and the maintenance of quality throughout the production cycle by the printer. Specialist light fast inks are guaranteed for 100 years and seal the quality of the product.
