General info

The meaning of giclée?

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-klay") is a neologism derived from the French word "gicleur" (technical term for a jet or nozzle). The word giclée was applied to digital fine art prints, in distinction to the initial technology from the late 1980s, commonly used for targeted simulation and proofing of print industry standards. Since then, the term giclée has meant inkjet printed fine art print.

What make aGICLÉE™ different from giclée?

Giclée is used by artists, galleries, print shops and photographs for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality, from poorly equipped and inexperienced services to the specialised professionals. The term "giclée" has become very commercial over time and is often misused.
aGICLÉE™ is a specially developed and branded product for Artbook Print®. aGICLÉE™ means state-of-the-art giclée printing according to all criteria. These have already been mentioned in the previous FAQs Mission of Artbook Print® and Top 10 reasons to choose Artbook Print®. Add to this only the fact that our high-end technology is well managed by professionals with decades of experience (since the birth of giclée and even earlier from the days of traditional artistic printing).
