Giclee (jee-klay): The French word "Giclée" a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word was probably derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".  It differs from traditional lithographic prints, in that it yields a higher resolution, thus producing a much wider color spectrum. The results are deep, saturated colors, and excellent detail, almost impossible to tell from an original.  Giclee printing process now provides better color accuracy than virtually all other means of reproduction, and is commonly found in museums, art and photographic galleries such as New York City’s Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.  Giclee is accepted by the Fine Art Guild and, if the correct media and inks are used.  Giclee printing has now attained absolute superiority in the reproduction of fine art, and so it is little wonder that paintings and drawings in this medium have become so highly collectable.
