With the advent of Giclee, the art of fine art printing has become even more precise. Giclee is a French word meaning "spraying of ink." Because no plates are used, the prints have a higher resolution than lithographs. The dynamic color range is greater than in serigraphy. Giclee printing captures every nuance of an image and lends itself especially to watercolor.
A digital scan is first taken of the original artwork. In the Giclee process, a fine stream of ink (more than 4 million droplets per second) is sprayed onto archival paper. The effect is similar to an airbrush technique, but much finer. Each piece of paper is directly hand mounted onto a drum that rotates during printing. Exact calculations of hue, value, and density direct the ink from four nozzles. This produces a combination of five hundred and twelve chromatic changes (with over seven million colors possible) of highly saturated, non-toxic, water based ink. The artist's approval and input are essential for creating custom settings for the edition.
