'''Giclée''' pronounced|ʒiːˈkleɪ"zhee-clay" or dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French ʒiˈkle, is an invented name for the process of making [[The Arts|fine art]] [[Prints|prints]] from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée", from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray" [http://www.dpandi.com/giclee/giclee.html dpandi.com, "''What's In a Name: The True Story of Giclée''" By Harald Johnson] . It was coined by [[Jack Duganne]], a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "[[Iris prints|Iris proofs]]" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to [[The Arts|fine art]] [[Prints|prints]] created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990's but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.

Beside its association with Iris prints, in the past few years, the word “giclée,” as a fine art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks (including solvent inks) and the inkjet printers that use them. These printers use the [[CMYK]] color process but may have multiple cartridges for variations of each color based on the [[CcMmYK color model]] (e.g. light magenta and light cyan inks in addition to regular magenta and cyan) which serves to increase the apparent resolution and color gamut and allows smoother gradient transitions [http://www.signindustry.com/digital/articles/2003-01-31-NUR-8colorDigitalPrinting.php3 signindustry.com, "''8-Color Printing: What’s Hype and What’s Real?''" By Judith Vandsburger]. The most common printers used are models from manufacturers such as Canon, Eastman Kodak, Epson]], Hewlett-Packard, ITNH Ixia, Mimaki, Mutoh, ColorSpan, and Roland DGA. A wide variety of substrates are available including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl. Indeed, a new industry has been created in supplying the media for this emerging market.
