Giclée ("zhee-clay") is a French word that means "that which is sprayed". Giclée prints are the latest and most advanced form of digital printmaking. A computer controls a very sophisticated ink-jet printer to create a near-continuous-tone image on fine-art media such as canvas, photographic and watercolour papers. Substrates (such as 100% cotton papers) offer the same archival properties as traditional printing and are rated to last a minimum of 75 years with proper storage.

The Roland giclée printer used for Virginia Ivanicki’s prints, is the most advanced technology available for creating fine-art prints, using six highly stable colour pigments in an extended tonal range (millions of colours are possible) and offering permanence characteristics of 100+ years. The dots created by the giclée process are so tiny and numerous that they are not discernible to the eye in the print’s continuous-tone.

Prominent artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, David Hockney, and Andrew and Jamie Wyeth have discovered that giclées are excellent for creating original works, multiple originals, or beautiful reproductions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC have all showcased giclée prints in recent years.

Note: Giclée prints on paper should be kept away from moisture and handled with care. They should be framed behind glass as soon as possible. Prints on canvas are clear coated for their protection, but as with all fine art, should also be handled with care.
