Giclee Reproductions
Reproductions known as Giclée (meaning 'to spray', and pronounced Zhee-clay) were originally
developed in 1989. This is a plate-less method of fine art printing. Images are scanned and
digitally stored in a computer. Each image is then sent individually to a high-resolution
printer.
Giclée reproductions are cost effective. This method allows you to purchase prints without a
large upfront fee as with traditional lithography. Mass production of the image is not necessary
as with lithography, one print at a time can be ordered in Giclée reproductions. The resolution
(dpi or dots per inch) provide incredible detail and the colors results are brilliant. The dpi
of 1800 are actually higher than traditional lithography, which has a dpi of 300. This higher
dpi allows the colors to be crisp and rich.
The benefits of Giclée reproductions are numerous. The initial investment is minimal. Giclée
prints offer richness, detail and depth that will set them apart from traditional offset
lithography.
Many well-known artists, such as Robert Bateman, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Robert Rauschenburg
and David Hockney are having Giclée reproductions. Many art museums are including Giclée
reproductions. After extensive testing, and with Lyson prototype ink, your Giclée reproduction
should last about 75 years before the color fading would be noticeable.
