Giclée (zhee-klay): A French noun that means a spray or squirt of liquid.
Giclée printing is advantageous to artists who don't wish to mass produce their work, but reproduce particular images as needed. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and at reasonable cost. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film do. Giclee prints can also be customized: reproduced to almost any size and onto various surfaces.
Images are printed from high resolution digital scans with archival quality inks onto canvas and fine art and photo-base papers using high-end 8-color to 12-color ink-jet printers—Epson's being the most popular. (Giclée printers are sometimes confused with Irises—a 4-color ink-jet printer line pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.)
Some believe that giclée prints can provide better color accuracy than many other means of reproduction. Rivaling traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes, they are now commonly found in museums and art and photographic galleries. Their popularity marks a turning point in printmaking technology.
