What is a
Giclee? |
Giclee With the advent of the Giclee the art of fine printing has become even
more precise. Because no screens are used, the prints have a higher
apparent resolution than lithographs. The dynamic color range is like
serigraph. In the Giclee process a fine steam of ink-more than four
million droplets per second is sprayed onto archival art paper or
canvas. The effect is similar to an air brush technique but much finer.
Each piece is carefully hand mounted onto a drum which rotates during
printing. Exact calculation of hue, value and density direct the ink of
four nozzles. This produces a combination of 512 chromatic changes (with
over 3 million colors possible) of highly saturated, nontoxic
water-based ink. The artist's color approval and input are essential for
creating the final custom setting for the edition.
The latest advancements in the Giclee process are the work of a
sophisticated fine art production facility that utilizes the highest
resolution digital printers. This edition of fine art prints is a
collaboration between the artist and a specially trained printing
craftsmen. They have extended the boundaries of current technology by
customizing their equipment, designing new programs, and offering
protective coatings to ensure quality standards for the collector.
Displaying a full color spectrum, Giclee prints capture every nuance of
an original painting - be it watercolor, oil or acrylic. |
