Giclée Printing

The giclée digital fine art printing process was used to produce each limited edition print on archival quality matte paper.

Fine art giclée (pronounced zheeCLAY) printing has taken root with artists, galleries and publishers around the world. Giclée is a French word meaning to squirt or spray, referring to the process of ink jet printers applying microscopic ink droplets onto art media such as canvas, watercolor or archival-quality matte paper. Giclée printing involves the use of archival inks and papers, and the resulting printed image appears as clear as photographs to the unaided eye. Giclée prints are intended for display in either direct or bright indoor lighting that is generally found in offices and galleries.
