For fine two-dimensional artwork, like paintings, Giclee printing has largely replaced the older Lithographic method which was done on a mechanical press with the ink being rolled onto hard paper. Lithographs can be run off in large quantities because of the relatively fast mechanical process. Once the ink dries, lithographs cannot be altered. This process produces a comparatively reasonable piece of art and is appealing to many patrons.

The term Giclee (pronounced Gee-Clay) means "liquid spray" or "sprayed ink", and is an advanced method of producing images of original paintings digitally using computer technology. The original art is scanned electronically into a computer allowing the color and values to be adjusted to match the original art. Then a specialized high-tech ink jet printer transfers (sprays) the image of the original painting onto the chosen paper. The end result is a high quality reproduction with many of the same qualities of the original painting.

Giclee prints offer a patron the next best option to owning an original. As with any fine art print, special care and handling is recommended to ensure the lasting beauty and longevity of the print. Consult with a professional and reputable framer for proper care of your Giclee print.
