The Term : The term "giclee print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital
scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing
process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
The Process : Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. Among the manufacturers of
these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan, & Hewlett-Packard. These modern technology printers are capable
of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. Giclee prints are sometimes mistakenly referred to
as Iris prints, which are 4-Color ink-jet prints from a printer pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics.
The Advantages : Giclee prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce
their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and
reasonable cost. The prohibitive up-front cost of mass production for an edition is eliminated. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality
as negatives and film inherently do. Another tremendous advantage of giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost
any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
The Quality : The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in
museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
The Market : Numerous examples of giclee prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art,
and the Chelsea Galleries. Recent auctions of giclee prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and
$22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans (April 23/24 2004, Photographs, New York, Phillips de Pury & Company.)
