Giclee Prints

Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. For example among the manufacturers of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan, and Hewlett-Packard.

These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints. Both used for fine art and photographic markets.

Giclee prints sometimes referred to as Iris prints. These Iris prints are 4-Color ink-jet prints from a printer pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.

Giclée is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne. These fine art digital prints; made on inkjet printers. The name initially applied to beautiful art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to suggest high-quality printing but since it is an unregulated word it has no associated warranty of quality.
