Giclée Printing
The Definition: Giclée (zhee-klay) – The French word “giclée” is a noun that means a spray of liquid. Also called “Archival Pigment Ink Print,” Giclée now refers to fine-art printing. Glenn F. Hohnstreiter Photography now uses the finest giclée printers and print media not only for his fine art photographs but also as a service to artists, reproduction of oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, or other media.
The Process: Giclée prints are created by Glenn using professional 8 to 12 color Hewlett-Packard Designjet or Epson Stylus Pro ink-jet printers. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. Print capability is up to 44 inches wide with any length up to 50 feet.
Support for Artists to Reproduce Their Artwork: The term “giclée print” connotes a significant advantage, not only to the photographs of Glenn F. Hohnstreiter Photography, but also to the watercolor, oil, acrylic, or pastel artist in that their works of art can be reproduced accurately with extreme color fidelity. Using high resolution digital capture equipment, the scans are printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, watercolor, and photo-based paper. The giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
Giclée prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and reasonable cost. The prohibitive up-front cost of mass production for an edition is eliminated. Archived digital files are created for a permanent record enabling future printing on demand. Another tremendous advantage of giclée printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
The Quality: The quality of the giclée print exceeds or rivals lithography, traditional silver-halide, and chromomeric printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photo galleries.
