Although the prints were originally faithful reproductions, the color deteriorated after several years.ProcessAs of 2010, the process for creating a giclee print begins with creating a digital scan at high resolution. The scan is then printed onto canvas or archival paper with archival inks from an eight- to 12-color professional inkjet printer.EditionsAn edition is the number of reproductions made from an original image.
