Q.
|
What is a Giclee?
|
|
A.
|
The French word “Giclee” (pronounced zhee-clay) translates in English to
“spraying of ink”. Giclee prints are high resolution digital reproductions
of original artworks using sophisticated printers that spray tiny droplets of ink
onto media such as high quality art papers, canvases and other substrates. The “Giclee”
process provides better color accuracy than any other means of reproduction. Done
properly, Giclee’s are difficult to distinguish from the original.

Q.
|
What is the benefit of a Giclee?
|
|
A.
|
Limited edition prints are not mass produced. Each one is created individually to
satisfy your specific order ensuring the highest quality. Every phase of the process,
from color consistency, clarity and saturation, to inspection signing and numbering
your Giclee print is the next best thing to owning the original. Highly collectable,
Giclee prints are an established art medium in the fine arts community and are well
accepted in museums and galleries around the world.

Q.
|
Will my Giclee print appreciate in value?
|
|
A.
|
Like all fine arts, both originals and giclee’s, appreciation is subject to market
value fluctuations depending on the life changes of the artist, his/her current
work(s), past market values, current market for portfolio, paintings and any “buzz”
about a future project or gallery showing. Certainly auction records for a particular
artist come into play as well, but generally speaking most good artist’s works do
appreciate in value over time, both originals and limited edition signed and numbered
reproductions.

Q.
|
What’s the cost difference between an original painting and a Giclee reproduction?
|
|
A.
|
Collectors, or even the average art buyer can purchase a Giclee print, framed or
unframed at a fraction of the cost of an original painting, yet it is nearly impossible
to distinguish between the two. Also, based the “Print on Demand” process a Giclee
print can be hand “Embellished” by some artist’s making it a one-of-a-kind fine
art addition to anyone’s private collection.

It is a print made by using a press to transfer an image that was created initially
on stone or metal plate to paper. Lithography, printing process, invented in 1798
by Alois Senefelder depends on a chemical interaction grease, nitric acid, gum Arabic,
and water. A “Print” is the generic term for an image produced in multiple, and
there are many different kinds of prints.

Q.
|
How does a lithograph fine art print differ from other prints?
|
|
A.
|
Lithographs differ from etchings, engravings, serigraphs and woodcuts in materials
and process. As opposed to many other print processes which depend upon incised
or carved lines, lithography is a planographic process that depends upon the mutual
repulsion of grease and water.
