-- Giclées --
| ||
The search for a way to translate digitally created or modified art into pieces acceptable as museum quality has resutled in the development of the giclée process.
Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a French word which translates loosely as "a spay of ink", a very apt name for a process which produces pictures by spraying very small droplets of ink onto paper. Since the process does not involve the use of a screen (as photolithography does) and the ink dot size measures a very small fraction of the average litho dot, the resulting prints can rival photographs in quality. To produce truly fine collectible pieces, the process uses archival inks and substrates (usually acid-free watercolor paper or canvas). Museums and serious collectors now endorse the giclée process as being on the same level as etchings, serigraphs and lithographs. | ||
