what is a giclee?
a giclee is a fine art print recognized as "the next best thing to owning the original. giclee's can be found on display in the world's finest museums and art galleries, often they can be hard to distinguish from originals.

the word "giclée" (pronounced jee-clay) dates back to 1989 and is a french term roughly meaning "spray or squirt" which refers to the digital printing process. during printing, millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second are applied to the print media.

a giclee is an individually produced reproduction done on a special large format printer, produced from digital scans of existing artwork.

giclees are superior to traditional lithography in several ways. the colors 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.

giclee prints are very lightfast and the canvas prints are varnished to be protected from UV and dust. the canvas edges are printed to be wrapped around the stretcher, staples should be at the back. this way the print can be hung without a frame.
