The termGicléewas coined in 1991 in the United States by Jack Duganne (of Nash Editions) to describe the first digital “inkjet” printing process specifically designed for the reproduction and editioning of works of art.
The French word Giclée,” pronounced “yiclé,” comes from the verb “gicler,” which means “to spray.” This inkjet printing technique involves depositing pigment in the form of microscopic droplets by “spraying” the substrate. This technique achieves a high level of detail in shapes and can also produce halftones, patterns, and continuous tones.
The result is exceptionally high-quality fine art prints, using inks that ensure the image will last for several hundred years; indeed, the quality of a Giclée print surpasses that of prints produced using traditional methods, a fact recognized by various professional circles.
Thousands of photographers, painters, and illustrators use this technique to reproduce their works; as a result, museums, galleries, collectors, and art publishers around the world exhibit, sell, preserve, and distribute limited-edition photographic works—in color or black and white—printed using this technology
