Print techniques: Giclée print
What is a giclée print?
The newest printing technique is known as giclée printing, or fine art digital printing. As digital printing has improved, the quality of these prints has inevitably changed since its invention in the 1980s. The first giclée prints were produced with an IRIS printer but are now created with different large format, inkjet printers.
Are giclée prints valuable?
Large scale giclée prints can be quite expensive to print. The prices, however, usually don’t compare with antique engravings, etchings and lithographs.
