What is a Giclée?
( Pronounced: Zee-Clay )
A giclée print is a high-quality art print made using inkjet printing technology. The term “giclée” comes from the French word “gicler,” meaning “to spray,” which refers to the method of spraying microscopic droplets of ink onto paper or canvas. Giclée prints are known for their exceptional color accuracy, fine detail, and longevity, making them a popular choice for reproducing original artworks, especially paintings and photographs.
These prints are often made using archival-quality inks and papers, ensuring that they resist fading and maintain their vibrancy for many years.
Because of their high quality, giclée prints are often considered a premium form of art reproduction, offering a close match to the original work in terms of color depth, texture, and overall appearance.
