Giclee is a French word meaning, "a Spraying of pigment" (pronounced 'Zhee - Clay'). With the advent of giclee, the art reproducing fine works has art become even more precise.Each piece of paper is carefully hand mounted onto a drum, which rotates during printing. Exact calculations of hue, value and density are achieved by directing over four million droplets of pigments through sixty four printer nozzles. This produces a combination of 512 chromatic changes (with over three million colors possible). Giclee have the highest apparent resolution available today - as high as 4000 DPI variable dot size is used to create the density of color on the print, instead of equally sized dots which can only achieve an effect of 600 - 1000 DPI. In addition, since no screens are used, the prints have higher apparent resolution than lithographs and color range that exceeds that of serigraphy.Displaying a full color spectrun, giclee prints capture every nuance of an original and have gained wide acceptance from artists and galleries throughout the world.
