FAQ

What are Giclée Prints?
According to Merriam-Webster, A Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a process by which high-quality prints are produced using an ink-jet printer. The process, for which the Giclée takes its name, involves spraying or spurting over a million dots per square inch giving the print its continuous tone. Today’s fine-art ink jet printers use high quality, archival inks which may exceed the life expectancy of the original artwork. A fine-art print begins with the original art or a professional quality transparent photo. The art is then scanned on a high-resolution scanner. A digital image is then transferred to a computer where the artist and the printer work together to make sure the colors reproduce as accurately as the original. By making a digital image, the computer can proportionally size the artwork to reproduce a quality print in multiple sizes for compete customization.
