What Is A Giclee (Pron: zheeclay) Print?
This is a new and sophisticated, computer aided technique, printed with special ink. Much has been said about this process in recent years, particularly in regard to the longevity of the inks used. However, newly developed inks have been tested to show a life of 70 to 100 years eliminating much of the concern over this issue. The colors of these reproductions are especially bright and pure, and the accuracy to the original is unlike any other reproduction process. The papers used are quite heavy watercolor types and edition sizes are usually kept under 300.
