Color Giclee Photography Prints, Capture Images Brilliantly  What
is Giclee Printmaking? Giclee
(pronounced zhee-clay) reproductions were originally developed
in
1989 as a digital method of fine art printing. The word Giclee
is French for “a spray of jet liquid”.
The images are scanned and digitally stored in a computer and sent
directly to a high-resolution ink jet printer. The
computer technology in giclee photography provides outstanding detail
and vibrant colors. Image resolution (DPI or Dots Per Inch) is higher
than in traditional lithography. My giclee photography images are
printed using high-resolution ink jet printers, which result in
sharp contrast with rich, brilliant colors.
These giclee photography images are printed on archival watercolor
paper. Predicted life span estimates, according to independent third-party
laboratory testing, are expected to be more than 130 years under
normal home and office conditions. However, giclee photography prints
should not be exposed to water or direct sunlight, which could cause
damage.
My giclee photography prints were produced from large-format 4 x
5 camera transparencies. The resolution and contrast in these images
is brilliant, due to a six-color printing process.
