What Is A Limited Edition Giclée Print?
Giclée (pronounced "zhe-clay") prints are produced by an ink jet technology whereby tiny droplets of ink are placed with excruciating precision onto a surface. Accoding to several sources "The term giclée originated in 1991 with Jack Duganne who coined the term to refer to fine art prints created with digital output. It was intended to be a word which would be added to the lexicon of printmaking terms in the vocabulary of fine art printmaking. It’s derivation comes from the word 'gicleur,' the french word for 'nozzle'. Gicler is the french verb 'to spray' (as from a nozzle) and thus the direct object of the 'spraying nozzle' would be giclée as most digital printers today use nozzles to direct ink onto a substrate. The main intention of the word giclée was to distinguish 'fine art prints' from those created for non-art or commercial purposes."
The technology of ink, paper, and printers has matured such that long lasting giclée prints are possible. G.E. Grey produces Limited Edition Giclée prints of her original watercolors. She does all of the necessary color correction and makes all of the artistic decisions in the production process. Her prints are produced using long lasting inks and papers.
