2 Cute Fur Words by Rachael Hale

GICLÉE (pronounced 'jee · clay') is a process that produces a fine-art print directly from a digital file using a highly specialized printer that uses pigments and the variety in paper types from canvas to watercolor or satin papers. After the original illustration is scanned into a computer, artists skillfully perfect the images colors. The digitally recreated artwork is printed onto museum-quality, acid-free paper with an giclee printer, specially modified for fine art reproduction. Giclee prints are considered one of the best ways to reproduce fine art with rich and deep colors that make art and photos come to life.
