Giclée Printing![]() ©Patty Schwarz Giclée printmaking offers the highest degree of accuracy and richness of color available in any image reproduction technique. Art Museums host Giclée print exhibitsProminent art museums such as the MOMA, Guggenheim, Smithsonian, Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York have hosted many exhibitions featuring giclée prints. Recent technology in Giclée print reproductionThe most recent print reproduction technology (called Variable Size, Micro-Piezo, Drop-on-Demand) utilizes eight print heads incorporating 180 nozzles each to spray microscopically fine droplets of ink to form an image. A print consists of millions of ink droplets and many thousands of colors. This unique capability produces a visibly continuous tone image with smooth gradations between tones and a finely differentiated color palette. Faithful reproductionGiclée printing provides luminosity and chroma brilliance that reproduces the artist's original work better than any other technique. This technology, when combined with the finest quality papers, canvases and inks, enables the Giclée print to rival the original art. ![]() ©George Ellis The quality of a fine giclée print, achieved by an artist working with a skilled repro professional, is far superior to that of a color copy, laser, or simple inkjet print. Museum quality giclée print will last for generationsOnly the giclée print will have the appearance and longevity suitable for framing. The combination of sophisticated printmaking techniques and superior materials provide a museum quality, limited edition print which will last for generations.
