[color=#660000 - Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclee" is a feminine word that means a spurt of liquid. The word may have been borrowed from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".

[color=#660000 - Images are developed from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto different substrates including canvas and photo-base paper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gicl%C3%A9e - Giclee is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers. The name originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process made-up in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is often used by galleries to describe high quality printing.

[color=#660000 - Giclee prints are beneficial to artists who do not find it practical to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed.
