GICLEE (pronounced ZHEE-clay) comes form the French term for "fine spray".  Giclee printing is a fine art printing technique which produces a superior, lush, vibrant, near original quality, textured art print. One that has the feel of a canvas and the look of an original

painting. A Giclee has more long-term value and is the highest quality fine art reproduction available.

A giclee print is created with digital printers using four tiny ink jets that spray more than 4 million microscopic water-based colored ink droplets per second onto a sheet of fine art paper or a canvas.

  Precise computer calculations control these ink jets to produce over 500 shades of dense, water-based ink.  A computer directly scans an artist's original work to control the jets - no printing film or plates or used.
