available as giclée prints.
What is Giclée, And Why Is It The
Next Best Thing to Owning the Original?
Giclée (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking
process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The quality
that Giclée printmaking offers makes the reproduction virtually
indistinguishable from the original artwork, resulting in wide acceptance
of high quality Giclées by galleries, museums, and private
collectors.
How does a Giclée differ from a traditional
print (a lithograph)?
Giclée printmaking derives its quality
from its apparently "dotless" imaging technology which
contrasts with traditional fine art prints which typically relies
on printing screen pattern dots to reproduce full-range color. Because
traditional offset printing dot patterns are detectable to the unaided
eye, it is less desirable than Giclée fine art prints for
fine art reproduction.
Traditional offset prints are typically restricted
to papers that widely vary from what the original artwork was created
on - especially when reproducing oil on canvas. The Giclée
process enables reproduction on virtually the same media as the
original artwork whether it is on canvas, textured watercolor paper,
or specialty fine art papers.
The result is a reproduction that is virtually
indistinguishable from the original artwork.
