What is a Giclée?
The process known as “Giclée” (pronounced “gee-clay”), or digital printing, is today the greatest
change taking place in the fine art business.
The word “giclée” is a French word, which literally means “spraying of ink”, and it essentially
describes the printing process. Four precision nozzles spray up to a million microscopic droplets
per second on fine art paper to produce beautiful reproductions of original artwork. The printing
process is computer driven and each piece of paper is individually hand-mounted on a continuous
tone, state of the art ink jet printer. These printers achieve a full-color spectrum with a lush and
velvet-like appearance, capturing the subtle nuances of the artwork.
Most often, heavy archival paper or acid-free canvas is used to produce the prints, and a
protective, clear coating may be applied. Artists sometimes add their own touches to the
finished prints, such as gold foil stamping, paint, ink, or airbrushing for a mixed media effect.
