What is a Giclee?
A Giclee (pronounced Zhee-Clay)
is a very high end digitally produced archival quality
print. Giclees are printed on archival substrates, such
as Arches Cold Press watercolor papers, Somerset watercolor
papers or specially prepared canvases, with archival,
light fast inks, at a very high resolution. Depending
on the medium of the original work, giclees are printed
on paper or canvas. Watercolor paintings render very
well on the watercolor papers, and oil paintings printed
as canvas giclees have the rich tonal quality of original
oil paintings. Canvas giclees are also coated with a
special finishing media to protect the surface. Canvas
giclees are stretched and framed as one would display
an original oil painting. Watercolor giclees are typically
framed behind glass, as one would do with an original
watercolor painting.
