What is a giclee? comparing Lithograph to Giclee
This more recent then lithography method of making high quality prints is gaining very high popularity.
Why is more Print more modern and quality of a lithograph?
A Giclee (zhee-clay) is an individual, high-resolution playback HiFi, made in a special large format printer. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork. Moreover, since many artists now produce only digital art, is not "original" that can be hung on a wall. Giclees solve that problem, while creating a new and vibrant environment for all art.
Giclees can be printed on any number of media, from canvas to watercolor paper to transparent acetates. Giclees are superior to traditional lithography in several ways. The colors are brighter, last longer and are so high resolution that the tone is almost continuous, rather than tiny dots. The range, or "range" of color for giclees is far beyond lithography, and details sharper.
Lithography uses tiny dots of four colors – cyan, magenta, yellow and black – to fool the eye into seeing various hues and shades. Colors are "created" by printing dots of different sizes of these four colors.
Giclees use inkjet technology, but much more sophisticated your desktop printer. The process employs six colors – light cyan, cyan, magenta, magenta, yellow and black – of lightfast, pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, and replaceable printheads resulting in a wider range of colors, and the possibility of using various media to print. The ink is applied on the page, actually mixing the color on the page to create true shades and colors.
They are priced midway between art original and regular limited edition lithographs. Offset limited edition prints are usually produced in editions of 500-1000 or more at a time, but rarely exceed the 50-100 giclees reproductions, one at a time.
Giclees were originally developed as a proofing system for lithograph printing presses, but it became clear that the machines were having difficulty in delivering the quality and color of Giclée tests. It became the new darlings of the art world. They are coveted by collectors for their fidelity and quality, and desired by galleries because they do not have to be produced in large quantities and design of large capital and storage.
In addition, Giclees are produced directly from a digital file, saving generations of detail-robbing negatives and printing plates, as with traditional printing.
