Giclée Printing, Art Scanning and Reproduction
True-to-life reproductions, any size with Giclée Fine Art Reproductions.
Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") reproductions were originally developed in 1989 as a plate-less method of fine art printing. The word Giclée is French for "to spray". The images are scanned and digitally stored in a computer and sent directly to a high-resolution printer. Unlike other printing methods, each image is sent to the printer individually.
