Giclee
Q: What is a Giclee?
A: Giclee: Giclee is french for "to spray", (pronounced "zhee-clay"). In short it is a process where-by the original image is scanned or rendered digitally. Artists at the printers, or atelier, work with the image on a computer screen to get it as accurate as possible. Because no screens are used, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs. The dynamic color range is like serigraphy. In the Giclee process, a fine stream of ink - more than four million droplets per second - is sprayed onto archival art paper or canvas. The effect is similar to an air brush technique, but much finer.
