Giclée (
IPA: // or //, from
French /ʒiˈkle/), commonly pronounced "zhee-clay," is an invented name for the process of making
fine art prints from a
digital source using
ink-jet printing The term is often used instead of Inkjet in art shops. The word "giclée", from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "
Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early
1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print.
