The Limited Edition giclee process begins with an original piece of artwork, such as a painting or a photographic print. The artwork is captured digitally and converted into a high-resolution digital file. When the file has been optimized for color and accuracy to the satisfaction of the publisher, printer and artist, it is output using a state-of-the-art printer in which super-fine nozzles spray microscopic droplets of ink with extreme precision onto a surface. It takes an hour or more to print just one high caliber fine art giclee.
