Giclee Fine Art Reproductions
| A Giclée (zhee-CLAY) -- go ahead, pronounce it -- is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclées are produced from original digital files or scans of existing artwork. Giclées are superior to traditional lithography in several ways: The colors are brighter, last longer (estimated at a minimum of 35-years), and are so high-resolution that they are virtually continuous tone, rather than tiny dots. The range, or expanded "gamut" of color for giclées allow for a more accurate rendition of the original art. They are priced midway between original art and regular limited-edition lithographs. Limited-edition litho prints are usually produced in editions of 500-1000 or more, but giclées rarely exceed 50-100 reproductions. Welcome to the world of Giclée Fine Art Reproductions. |
