What is a Giclée Print?

Giclée prints look and feel like the original art. Since giclée printmaking is digital throughout the entire process, there is much more control of color and greater opportunity for the artist to correct any colors or tones lost in the copy process. Colors are much richer and more saturated than in other types of printing. Prints are made as needed, on real artist materials such as watercolor papers or canvas. Since the prints are a combination of continuous tone and stochastic screen patterns, it makes it difficult to distinguish between giclée prints and the original artwork. The Giclée process provides higher resolution and more reproducible colors than other printmaking techniques.

Because each print is made as needed it saves the artist time and you money. You get a freshly made reproduction that will last longer and of higher quality.
