What is a Giclee Print?

The Giclée (pronounced "jeeclay") method of printmaking, sometimes referred to as the "Iris" (after the original machine that produced the print), is the most recent technological advancement in the Fine Art Printing world.

Giclee reproductions were originally developed in 1989 as a digital method of fine art printing. The word Giclee is French for "to spray on" or "to spray ink". Images are scanned and digitally stored in a computer and sent directly to a super high resolution, inkjet printer.  All giclees are printed on watercolor paper.
