define giclee
GiclČe: commonly pronounced "zhee-clay," is an invented name for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using inkjet printing The term is often used instead of Inkjet in art shops. The word "giclČe", from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print. (source: Wikipedia)
A giclee is a high quality fine art print that is considered to be an important piece of art in it's own right. Giclees can be found on display in the world's finest museums and art galleries.
