The word Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay") is delivered from the French verb "gicler" meaning 'to spray' or 'to squirt'. A Giclee print is a high-resolution, high fedelity, archival quaility digital print produced on a special large format printer and is a recognized fine art print category just like lithographs and serigraphs. Giclees are superior to traditional lithography ias the colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually 'continuous tone', rather than tiny dots. The color gamut for giclees is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper. Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for the fine art markets. The process employs lightfast (fade resistant,) pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, replaceable print heads resulting in a wider color gamut. The ink is sprayed onto the canvas, actually mixing the color on the canvas to create truer shades and hues. Giclees were originally developed as a proffing system for traditional lithographic printing presses, but it soon became apparant that the presses were having a hard time delivering the quality and brilliant color of the giclee proofs. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries. They are coveted by collected for their fidelity and quality.
Digital art is art created on a computer in digital form. Digital art can be purely computer generated, such as fractals, or taken from another source, such as a scanned photograph, or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet.
