'''Giclée''' pronounced|ʒiːˈkleɪ"zhee-clay" or dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French ʒiˈkle, is an invented name for the process of making [[fine art]] [[Printing|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.
