Giclée prints - PhotoCamel

Giclée printing seems primarily geared toward artists. Is that true?

Has anyone delved into this type of printing?

Where are some good Giclée printers located?

Thanks.

Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. (aka inkjet). Most good color houses will have the larger 9xxx series Epson printers dedicated to fine art printing.

see http://www.gicleeprint.net/index.asp for more information.

Are you saying there's no difference between that funny-sounding word and an Epson inkjet 9xxx?

Yes you are right buddy.

A gilcee or zee clay is just an epson inkjet print.

I have had some prints done for a local artist and the quality was not that great. You need a good printer and a fine image.

Its very popular for artists to sell glicee prints in the UK instead of orginals.
