Giclée

Giclée (French, pronounced 'zhee-clay') prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink, each just 15 microns in diameter (about the size of a red blood cell), on canvas with microscopic accuracy. Highest quality is achieved by placing anywhere from 0 to 31 of these droplets per color in a given pixel or dot, precisely varying the size of the individual pixels that together form the printed image.

Giclée printing is considered to be one of the best Fine Art digital printmaking techniques in the world, producing longer lasting, higher quality images nearly identical to the original oil painting.
