Giclée Prints

What are giclée prints?

Giclée (pronounced Gee clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which refers to how the prints are manufactured using a type of inkjet printer.

The advantages of using such a method means no screen or other mechanical devices are used, therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern. This enables an acurate reproduction of all the tonalities and hues of the original painting.
