*A
giclee (zhee-CLAY) is an individually produced, high-resolution,
high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format
printer. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing
artwork. Also, since many artists now produce only digital
art, there is no "original" that can be hung on
a wall. Giclees solve that problem, while creating a whole
new vibrant medium for art.
Giclees can be printed on any number of media, from canvas
to watercolor paper to transparent acetates. Giclees are superior
to traditional lithography in several ways. The colors are
brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they
are virtually continuous tone, rather than tiny dots. The
range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far beyond
that of lithograph
