A Giclée (zshee-clay') is an art print produced using a continuous ink jet technology on an IRIS digital printer.  These prints are produced with advanced archival inks on acid free fine art papers and canvas.

The IRIS Giclée is established as the most advanced standard of museum quality digital fine art printing available. Dozens of museums in the U.S. and abroad have either mounted exhibitions of IRIS Giclées or purchased them for their permanent collections. These include The Metropolitan Museum (New York), the Guggenheim (New York), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston), the Philadelphia Museum, the Butler Institute (Youngstown, Ohio), the Corcoran (DC), the National Gallery for Women in the Arts (DC), the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts (DC), the Walker Art Center, the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, the New York Public Library Print Collection, the High Museum (Atlanta), the California Museum of Photography, the National Museum of Mexico, and the San Jose Museum,  the Farnsworth Museum (Rockland, Maine), among many others.

IRIS’s patented method of forming an image out of a continuous flow of microscopically small variable sized droplets supports a wide range of visual effects, from photo-realistic to painterly, so there’s virtually no limit to the artistic styles the Giclée can accommodate. Printmakers with decades of experience in traditional methods state that a well-made Giclée offers depth, detail, and lushness that set it apart from serigraphy and offset lithography.

With continuing advancements in ink formulations, IRIS Giclée prints can last several decades before easily noticeable fading begins. This is comparable or surpasses serigraph, offset lithography and, in the case of many watercolors, the original art itself.

Handle these prints as you would an original watercolor. Avoid moisture. Frame under glass (preferably UV glass) and avoid displaying in direct sunlight.
