The science of fine art reproduction becomes precise with the advent of the
revolutionary Giclée (ghee-clay) process. The Giclée reproduction is as
rewarding visually as it is technically amazing. It is unsurpassed for
brilliant, exquisite color and razor sharp detail. This art representation
is becoming the new standard in the art industry, and is widely embraced for
its quality by major museums, galleries, publishers, and artists.
A Giclée process offers the closest duplication of an original artwork
humanly and technically possible. Enhanced digital jet printers are
specifically designed for the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art
collectors and connoisseurs of museum quality, limited edition prints.
The French word, Giclée, translates (in this instance) to "spray of
pigment." From a hundred jets more than a million droplets of pigment per
second are sprayed on a canvas spinning on a drum. The resulting image is
comprised of almost 20 billion droplets of paint. The latest Giclée Printing
Technology also obsoletes the standard four-color process and its
eight-color process. The resulting print has an endless array of richly
saturated color, and every nuance of the original image.
This museum quality reproduction process assures 100-year light-fastness and
UV-resistance under museum archival conditions.
Giclée prints are displayed in museum and galleries throughout the world.
