What is a Giclée Print?
Giclée or Iris prints are produces oneat a time using water
based inks on Arches 100% cotton rag paper. The use of this fine
art archival paper (the same one used by the artist for her original
paintings) helps to create results far superior to those of other
printing methods. Giclée is a French word meaning “liquid
spray”. The original image is first scanned into a computer
and color corrected by a graphic artist. Then a special high-tech
ink-jet printer transfers or “sprays” the image of
the original painting directly onto watercolor paper with literally
millions of microscopic dot of color. The resulting prints are
rich in color and saturation often making it difficult to tell
the print from the original painting. The editions, usually of
100 or less, are carefully numbered and signed by the artist.
With their superior quality, Giclée prints have gained
wide acceptance. The Louvre in Paris uses them to reproduce and
display work too fragile or valuable to put on display normally.
Like original watercolors, Giclée prints must be protected
from sunlight and fluorescent lighting. It is very important to
protect them further by framing them under UV protective glass. |
