What is a Giclée print? Giclée (ghee-clay) is French for "to spray". Also know as "archival piezo prints" or "high end archival inkjet prints", the process is digital printmaking with a printer that uses minute droplets of ink to create prints that cannot be duplicated by other printing techniques. Artists at the printery work with the image on a high resolution computer screen to ensure an amazing degree of color accuracy. Each print is produced with archival pigmented ink for maximum color permanence, and printed onto a substrate of either canvas or fine quality watercolor paper, making the print difficult to distinguish from the original. Among the many museums with Giclée prints in their collections are The Metropolitan Museum, The Guggenheim (New York
City), The British Museum, Los Angeles County Museum, Museum of Modern Art New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art. Editions are limited to 75 or 150 each and every print is signed and numbered by the artist. |
