What are Giclee Fine Art Prints?

Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) refers to both a category of collectible fine art, as well as a type of digitally created fine art print. Not any digital print is a Giclee. Only digital prints that are created using special high-resolution printers, archival inks, media and strict printmaking standards can be truly marketed as Giclee prints. These fine art reproductions are laboratory rated to provide several decades, if not a century or more of lasting print quality.

Museums throughout the world including the Louvre use Giclee prints to substitute works of art too fragile to be exhibited to the public. New York's Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim and the National Museum of Mexico all proudly display Giclees as part of their collections.

Over the past several years the Giclee prints have gained the respect of artists, graphic designers, photographers and of course the public. Advantages include the ability to order test prints as needed without the hassle of mass production and storage associated with lithography. Artists can order one Giclee print, matted and framed for a display piece, then print more as orders come in.
