What’s the difference between an original, print, reproduction and giclee?
What’s a giclee? A giclee (pronounced ‘zhee-clay, it’s French) is an archival quality reproduction or print.
Giclees use ink printing machines instead of toner. It’s a more expensive process, but often yields richer, more nuanced color that may match the original art better.
