In Gicleé printing, there is no visible screen pattern as in an offset-lithographic print. The image has tonalities and hues much closer to that of the original painting. Giclee (pronounced Jhee'clay) is a term derived from a French word meaning to spray or squirt. The process is similar to a standard inkjet printer, although the inks used in giclee printing are archival, pigment-based inks rather than standard inkjet inks, which are dye-based. The pigments provide a more stable image similar to that of serigraphs or watercolors when printed on high quality archival papers.The process of gicleé printing also allows works to be printed on canvas and then stretched to simulate an actual painting.
A type of fine-art print produced by printing onto canvas or rag paper by a very high-end, high-quality digital device such as an IRIS printer. Giclee prints are extremely high-quality reproductions of an original painting or other work of art, and are popular on the fine-art market. Pronounced "GEE-clay."
a French word meaning "a spraying of ink," the giclée process begins with a digital reproduction of an original artwork. The artwork is then reproduced by spraying a fine stream of ink of more than four million droplets per second onto archival art paper or canvas. Each piece of paper or canvas is hand mounted onto a drum which rotates during printing. The effect is similar to an airbrush technique, but the giclée droplets are over 35 times finer. Because no screens are used, the giclée prints have a higher resolution than lithographs, resulting in stronger contrast and richer color saturation. The final product appears very similar to a hand-painted original artwork.
Prints or prints on canvas made using digital files and inkjet printers.
Print artwork made using a specialized ink spray process (Giclee is French for "to spray"). The giclee print is unmatched in its exquisite color and razor-sharp details, and has quickly become the new print standard for museums, galleries, publishers, and artists. First captured digitally and then refined by the artist and master printer through a series of proofs to ensure the color and clarity, the giclee print is the closest possible reproduction of an original artwork afforded by technology. Both the ink and archival paper onto which the image is transferred offer up to 70-year light-fastness and UV-resistance under proper storing conditions.

French word meaning "sprayed ink" - This is a computer generated print that is produced by the spraying of ink onto a high quality paper or canvas. It is capable of producing millions of colors. This allows for a high degree of fine detail, closely matching the original. The original image is first scanned onto a computer, then print using a high quality giclee printer.
Giclee is a modern printing method that produces high quality copies of an image; often used to print a replica of a painting on canvas.
literally means little squirt in French. The latest digital printing technique enabling "print on demand". Originally term used by Iris printers but rapidly becoming generic term for top quality digital prints using archival quality inks on heavy weight paper or canvas.
A common term used to describe fine art digital prints (Fr. "a spraying of ink").
(Fr. "a spraying of ink"): A common term for fine art digital prints.
(Pronounced gee-clay, A new process which is causing quite a stir among artists because it is less expensive (to the artist) than off-set printing, but is still considered "professional quality." Giclee can be thought of as high grade ink-jet printing, with fancier papers and inks.
French for "sprayed ink". A sophisticated print making process.
Giclée (jhee-clay) is from the French meaning "to spray ink." In this method, an ink-jet printer is used to print an image which has been digitally captured (or created directly on the computer). Unlike in offset lithography, where a dot pattern is visible, giclée offers continuous color.
is modern digital fine art print technology in which a very high resolution digital image is printed on what is basically a very high specification ink-jet printer. Sometimes a giclée print is made of an image that was created digitally, but often artwork in one of the traditional media is the starting point. The original is photographed or scanned and the digital file is colour-corrected and manipulated until the printed version is approved by the artist and/or publisher. Because the process is computer-based the quality of print is identical throughout the print run. Special inks and media are used, combinations of which have passed very stringent tests for longevity and fade resistance. Prints can be made on canvas, papers and other media types. Many of the special giclée papers and canvases are similar to the papers and canvases used by artists for painting on, so depending on the type of image being printed, the result often looks very like an original painting. This similarity between the print and the original can be further increased by hand embellishment.
A print produced on a sophisticated inkjet printer, usually from a high-resolution digital image of the painting. The print is usually examined, corrected, and coated after printing. (pronounced gee-clay')
is quite new, and is a French term that translates to a "fine mist". This technology is quite advanced and requires very high resolution printers that spay millions of microscopic partials of ink onto paper or canvas. The original file is created by high resolution scanners, scanning the original.
a printmaking process usually on an IRIS inkjet printer to make reproductions of a photograph of a painting; the printer can produce a very wide range of colors resulting in prints that are of very high quality.
Giclee prints are digital ink jet output on coated papers. I prefer, Sommerset Velvet Enhanced for its superior stability and saturation qualities. Giclee prints can be color or black and white. Sommerset Velvet is a 100% neutral rag content paper. I print with Epson printers and inks.
Digital printing, i.e. large format digital print, giclee fine art reproduction or photo enlargement.
The process of digitally laying down archival quality inks onto archival quality photographic paper, watercolor paper, or canvas. The images can be produced in limited editions, open editions, or as original works of art.
(Fr. "Fine Spray"; pron. zhee-clay) A computer generated print that is produced by the spraying of an image on to fine art paper or canvas and photo-base paper. See also IRIS Print. LEARN MORE
A printing technique that uses computers to generate a digital file of the artwork and a specialized inkjet printer to re-create the artwork on a variety of substates, inlcuding watercolor paper and canvas. Giclee printing offers one of the highest degree of accuracy and richness of color currently available in any reproduction technique.
This is a newer form of printmaking referring to those images printed through use of a digital printer. Artwork for these prints may actually be created on a computer, or created on paper and then scanned into a computer. Because there is less ink applied to the substrate (paper) compared to a serigraph, using this Giclée method is felt by many to be a less durable form of printing and probably less resistant to fading.
The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt". The term "giclee print" is printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. These prints are produced by using professional ink-jet printers. Among the manufacturers of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan, & Hewlett-Packard. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. Giclee prints are not the same as Iris prints, which are a 4-Color ink-jet process from a printer pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics. The two should never be confused.
a very accurate computerized reproduction in which the image and topology are generated from a digital file and printed by special ink jet, using ink, oil or acrylic paint.
Also know as "Iris Print", the word giclee is taken from the French word meaning "to spray." The print in this process is produced by the used of computer technology and a high-quality, large-scale, commercial ink-jet printer that uses water-based inks. The inks are rapidly squirted through the micro jets of the printer onto paper or canvas. The artwork created using this process is very similar to the original.
A giclee is taken from the French word meaning “to spray,” a giclee is a print produced by the use of computer technology and a high-quality, large-scale, commercial ink-jet printer which uses organic, water based inks. These inks are microscopic droplets rapidly “sprayed” with excruciating precision onto the surface. The image consists of pixels or dots that are formed by these droplets in combinations of each of the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). The dots are so small and precise that, instead of seeing dots, the human eye only registers a slow tonal gradation. The substrate used for a giclee is much like the one used for the original artwork-usually canvas or high-quality, acid-free paper thus creating a piece of artwork amazingly similar to the original.
a printing method utilising a revolutionary new process, whereby a continuous inkjet printer sprays a staggering four million droplets of ink (each one the size of a red blood cell) per second onto the paper or canvas. Requiring highly sophisticated printers and specially tested colourfast inks, this blend of fine art and state-of-the-art technology produces exceptionally faithful reproductions.
Giclee is French meaning "to spray on" and pronounced, 'zhee-clay.' The giclee process produces a highly saturated and dynamic color range that is an exact color representation of an original work of art. Many times it is produced on the same watercolor paper or canvas as the original. Placed side by side it may take the artist to distinguish the original from the giclee. The giclee is an affordable option to buying original works of art.
(zhee-klay) Giclee (pronounced zhee’klay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer works. 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.
Considered an original graphic, they are produced as multiples. The term originates from the French "to spray" and employs inkjet color application and digital color separation. Millions of ink particles can be applied simultaneously to the paper. Flawless color reproduction and extraordinary consistency are the trademarks of this new technology. Rapidly becoming the preferred method of fine-art print production.
french for "to spray," giclée is the term commonly used for what is currently the most advanced digital fine art printmaking technology. images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various surfaces. the giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
(pronounced "zhee-clay") reproductions were originally developed in 1989 as a plate-less method of fine art printing. The word Giclée is French for "to spray " and is a registered trade name of The 'IRIS' Printer. The images are scanned and digitally stored in a computer and sent directly to a high resolution printer. Unlike other printing methods, each image is sent to the printer individually.
French meaning "spray" or "to spray." A common term for fine art digital prints made from an inkjet printer.
Type of color copy print produced with the aid of a computer on a large, special ink jet printer. Like other color copies they can be printed in quantity or one at a time. Giclee's are printed with a water based ink, and if any water ever gets on them they will be ruined.
Pronounced "zhee-klay" the French word "giclée" is a noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The term "giclee print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various archival substrates including canvas, fine art rag paper, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
Giclée (pronounced ZHEE-clay) is the French term for "fine spray." A giclée print is created with digital printers using four tiny ink jets that spray more than 4 million microscopic water-based colored ink droplets per second onto a sheet of fine art paper or canvas, spinning on a drum at the rate of 250 inches per second. Precise computer calculations control these ink jets to produce over 500 shades of dense, water-based ink. A computer scans the artist's original work to control the jets -- no printing film or plates are involved. The final product is a lush, vibrant, and velvety-looking art print; one that has the feel of a watercolor, and the clarity of an original painting.
An image that is created or scanned into a computer, then printed on a high-speed ink-jet printer. (The term literally means "spurt " or "spray.") Special inks produce incredibly true colors without the dot pattern associated with offset lithography. With advances in technology, the giclée has continued to evolve, and has become an accepted printing method. The quality of the inks used to print, and the substrate on which the image is printed, affect the quality and longevity of the print. A giclée can be either original art (when the image is created originally in the computer) or a reproduction (when an image is scanned into a computer, then printed.)
Term referring to a digital print from a digitised image outputted from computer to an inkjet printer. It usually should refer to a limited edition, fine art print, onto archival quality coated paper, and printed with pigment inks, which are UV stable. The blue Wool scale is a print standards scale set by the Fine Art Trade Guild, and it specifies a score of 6 or above, on paper over 250gsm, to qualify for the title of a giclee print that has longevity.
(Zhee-clay) Computer controlled, fine art print making process. Similar to the look of a serigraph but no screens are used. It uses a very fine spray of ink, 15 microns in size, about 4 times smaller than a human hair. The microscopic jet-stream is controlled by a crystal frequency. The print is then coated with up to 15 layers of waterproof U.V. varnishes.
Giclee is a French word meaning "to squirt or spurt" and is a printmaker's term for "fine spray"--adopted to distinguish the technique from ordinary offset printing. Giclees are produced one at a time. The process allows the reproduction to closely match the original. Giclees are intended for sale in the fine art market.
French term meaning: to spray. A process by which an image is rendered digitally by spraying a fine stream of ink onto archival art paper or canvas. A Gicleé starts with an original painting that is scanned into a computer where it can be color corrected. After being stored digitally, the image is printed on a high-tech printer, which sprays dye-based inks on paper mounted on a spinning drum. Moses' Gicleé prints have a projected lifetime of over 100 years under normal conditions out of direct sunlight.Gicleé printing is a high quality standard for printing single or limited edition pieces on paper or canvas. The Gicleé are printed with 100% natural dyes on a beautiful, pure white Faux Canvas Paper which dramatically reproduces the colors of the original art. Collectors appreciate the feel of the prints with their extremely high detail and brilliant color saturation. The word Gicleé ( pronounced Zjee-Clay).
