Giclée (jhee-clay): It is
French for "to squirt or spray." The term
is given typically to a certain elevation of printmaking
technology. The image is scanned at a high resolution
and then printed with archival quality pigment base
inks onto 100% cotton fiber paper or other substrates.
The Giclée process provides better color accuracy
than any other means of reproduction.
Iris printers were the pioneers and the ones that started
this market (that's why a Giclée print is often
referred to or known as an Iris print). But the quality
was not the greatest and the ink was dye base and didn't
last more than 25 years before fading. Today a few brand
printers have a better print head technology that can
produce a high quality Giclée print with archival
quality pigment base inks that can last for over 75
years before starting to fade. Some museums started
to reproduce the artwork for display to prevent the
originals from been damaged or exposed to the light
and they needed something that would take their place
but still look just like the original. This is were
the term "Museum Quality" comes in.
So if you are serious about art collecting or just getting
into it, this is the perfect opportunity for you to
obtain your piece of the Magic. The art work of López
