Digital Painting

Digital Painting is an art form in which traditional painting are applied using a computer. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. To print a giclee print, a 12 color inkjet printer squirts special pigments (not dyes) onto archival quality material – 100% cotton paper, linen rag, or canvas. Because of the pigments and quality print medium, giclee prints demonstrate longevity with fade-resistant colors.

Giclee Prints

The beauty of a giclee print (pronounced zhee-clay) is that each reproduction is as true to the original as possible, and a lot of that has to do with the 12 colors of the printer. Printers with 12 colors are better suited to accurately recreating the original look of the image. This is especially important if you are planning on selling your artwork or entering it into competitions. As a bonus, an artist is no longer limited to selling just the original; s/he can sell as many copies as desired. As such, giclee prints are suitable for both printing of digital photographs as well as creating copies of original art.
