It's Called "giclée" Pronounced (zhee-clay or z-clay)

Simply stated Giclee is an entirely new art form. Giclée is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art and reproductions. In the case of reproductions the attainable quality that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork. The result is wide acceptance of high quality Giclee art by galleries, museums, and private collectors. The point here is that; now artists are turning to the once-lowly inkjet printing process {now completely revolutionized} in order to produce high quality original archival fine-art. Fine Museum Quality inkjet technology is little more than a decade old. That's nothing when you consider it was over 500 years ago when Johannes Gutenberg (1400?-1468) invented the printing press and artists such as Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), Martin Schongauer (1430?-1491), and Lucas van Leyden (1494- 1533) began printing engravings. Today the use of inkjet technology for fine art printmaking is serious business. In fact, for artists willing to experiment outside traditional printmaking techniques — etching, lithography, and screen printing to name a few — digital printmaking is another means of creative expression ripe for experimentation; though expensive.      Here are just a few units from our existing inventory available as Giclée:                                        *Ready For Your Creative Touch                          Available through Smart Distributors and Retailers Nationwide
