What is "Giclees" printing?

PA giclee (zhee-CLAY), is an individually produced, high resolution, high-fidelity, high tech reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork. Also, since many artists now paint only digitally, there was no “original” that can be hung on a wall. Giclees solve that problem, while creating a whole new vibrant medium for art. The Giclee is quickly becoming the new standard in the fine art industry, and is widely embraced for its astonishing quality by major museums, galleries, publishers and artists. 

A Giclee Print is quite simply the closest replication of an original artwork that is currently possible. Giclees can be printed on any number of media, from inkjet canvas to watercolour paper to vinyl, to transparent acetates. Giclees are superior to traditional lithography in nearly every way. 

The colours are brighter, last longer, and are so high resolution that they are virtually ‘continuous tone’, rather than tiny dots. The range, or “gamut” of colour for giclees is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper. Since giclee printers can use media in rolls, large print sizes are available, limited only by the length and width of the roll. Billboard sizes are possible.
In giclee printing, no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting. Giclee is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is
how an inkjet printer works. However, it is not the same as a standard desktop inkjet printer, and is much larger. Giclee prints are a little over a metre wide and are often affectionately referred to as a “knitting machine” as they look very similar. An archived copy of your image file will be kept to call off single or multiple copies at any time, this enables producing a complete giclee print edition all at once
