Giclee (g-clay) is
an elegant, state-of-the-art reproduction. The name comes from a
French printmaker's term for "fine spray", and was
adopted to distinquish the technique from odinary offset
printing. A giclee is created by a digital printer's tiny ink
jets that spray millions of droplets of water-based ink onto fine
archival art paper or canvas (or linen) known as the
"substrate". The combination of specific inks and
substrate are carefully selected to assure maximum print
longevity.
