With the advent of Giclee
(pronounced zhee-clay), the art of fine art printing has become
even more precise. Giclee is a French word meaning "spraying
of ink". A Giclee print is visually exquisite as well as
technically amazing being unsurpassed for brilliant true color
and razor sharp detail. The latest advancements in the Giclée
process are the work of a sophisticated fine art production facility
that utilizes the highest resolution digital printers. A fine
stream of ink -- more than 4 million droplets per second-- is
sprayed onto archival paper or canvas. Exact calculations of
hue, value and density direct the ink of four nozzles. This produces
a combination of 512 chromatic changes, (with over 3 million
colors possible ) of highly saturated, nontoxic water based ink.
Once completed an image is comprised of almost 20 billion droplets
of ink. The latest Giclee Printing Technology enhanced the standard
4-color process to an 8-color process. The resulting reproduction
has no perceptible dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated
color, and every nuance of the original image. The latest inks
offer a 70+ year light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum
archival condition. The artist's color approval and input are
essential for creating custom settings for the edition. Giclee
reproductions are the new standard in the art world. They have
been shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, The Los Angeles
County Museum, The British Museum and many others. |
