What is a Giclee?

Giclee (zhee-CLAY) is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity print produced with a special large format ink-jet printer (in my case an Epson Stylus Pro 9800). I shoot with digital cameras and lenses designed specifically for digital cameras. Since my photographic images are producing only digital files, there are no "original" film negatives that can be used to print directly onto "reactive" photographic paper. This is not a problem, though, and is actually an advantage to gain superior results on quality prints that look better than a traditional photo enlargement.

The giclees that I am having printed are printed on German Hahnemühle FineArt paper by Custom Photo Labs in Duluth, MN. They are truly superior images in several ways. The colors are brighter, last longer, and are produced at such high-resolution that they have virtually continuous tone. The range of color for giclees is far beyond that of traditional photographic paper prints, details are crisper, and the varying textures of different subject matters are clearly visible.

Giclees use inkjet technology, but are far more sophisticated than your traditional desktop printer. The process employs six colors—light cyan, cyan, light magenta, magenta, yellow and black of lightfast. The process also uses specially-pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, and replaceable printheads resulting in a wider color gamut, and the ability to print on various media. The ink is sprayed onto the media, actually mixing the color on the media to create true color shades and hues. The prints that I am selling are produced on custom fine art paper for better color saturation and texture compared to traditional photographic paper.

If you see one of these giclee prints (above) in person, you will see the difference when they are produced directly to print from original RAW digital files.

Note that when you click on the images above and view them in their "large" 900-pixel-wide format, you are only seeing them at about 1/50th of their original resolution on your monitor. You need to see them printed at full resolution to truly appreciate their beauty.
