Answer:

What is a giclée?

A giclée refers to the newest advancement in printing technology. It has only begun to be used in the arts community. With a "normal" print, the image is printed as a series of tiny dots which are rolled onto the paper by a number of different processes. In a high quality print like a lithograph, the dots are nearly invisible unless magnified. With a low quality print like a newspaper, the dots are quite visible even with the naked eye.
With giclée's the inks are actually sprayed into place similar to an ink jet printer. Even under a magnifier there seems to be no dots! Giclée's also use specially made inks with true light fast pigments. This ensures that the artwork you purchase will retain it's color. Independent laboratories have rated the inks to be fade resistant to 115 years. The giclée is basically the best available. Information obtained from Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Arts.
