What is a Giclee?
The word is French. It means spurt or squirt, in this case its meaning is “spray of ink”. From a hundred inkjets, more than a million droplets of ink per second are sprayed on a canvas or watercolor paper. Once completed an image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of ink. The latest Giclee Printing Technology enhanced the standard 4-color process to a 12-color process.
The resulting print has no perceptible dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated color, and every nuance of the original image. The most archival, water based light-fast inks available are used. The latest inks offer a 70-year light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum archival condition.
