Giclèe is a limited edition fine art print produced with continuous tone ink-jet technology on a variety of archival media. Giclèe (French - "to splash" or "to squirt") is an exciting medium for both artists and photographers because of its unparalleled quality and longevity. Whether producing an original, enhancing an image, or reproducing original art, the Giclèe process will render an image of exceptional clarity. Producing a Giclèe print is a slow and meticulous process which requires the skill of an artist to create museum quality prints. The technology calls for special equipment and techniques to obtain the best color accuracy, sharpness, continuous color tone and artistic interpretation available in fine art prints. Giclèe prints are widely accepted at museums and galleries. Many museums in the United States and abroad have either mounted exhibitions of Giclèe prints or purchased prints for their permanent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, The Museum of Fine Art, The Philadelphia Museum, and The Smithsonian Institute. When purchasing a reproduction for collectable purposes, it is important to know whether the reproduction accurately represents the original creation. Additionally, the added confidence in the quality and availability of the piece adds value to the purchaser. |
