Giclée prints are fine-art quality prints produced on an Iris ink jet printer. This top of the line, high quality printer prints an image at a perceived resolution of 1,800 dots per inch. These microscopic dots produce astoundingly accurate color.
Giclées can be printed on a variety of surfaces and are applied with
UV-resistant coatings. Some treatments make giclée prints reasonably water-resistant.
Iris printers yield reproductions that appear surprisingly similar and have many of the same qualities as an original painting - to the point that they're nearly indistinguishable.
