Giclée Fine Art Prints

An Iris/Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") reproductions were originally developed as a plateless method of fine art printing. The word Giclee is French for "to spray " or "to sputter".

An Iris/Giclée print is the highest quality print available today. When the process is done correctly it consists of a one-to-one high-quality scan of the original, an Iris printer, and an ICC (International Color Consortium) color matching software package. The IRIS printer sprays droplets of ink the size of a human red blood cell onto fine art stock to create prints that cannot be duplicated by other printing techniques. Because there is no visible dot screen pattern the resulting image has all of the subtle tonalities of the original art. This produces exceptional museum quality prints.
