Of French origin, the word Giclée comes from the verb "gicler" which means to spray, spray. At THE MADRILEÑER we currently use this term to describe a printing process that has revolutionized the reproduction of digital works of art, achieving exceptional quality and an appearance very similar to that of manual works.
What is the giclee printing process?
The giclée printing process is a digital reproduction technique that allows you to print works of art in high quality and with an appearance very similar to that of a handicraft. This process is done using 8 to 12 color professional inkjet printers, capable of precisely spraying millions of microscopic ink droplets per second.
The giclée printing process is carried out on a support, which can be paper or fabric, in any of its finishes. The image is printed achieving great detail in the shapes and allowing the production of plots, patterns and continuous tone, thus obtaining a high-quality digitized piece but with the appearance of manual reproduction imitating strokes, brushstrokes, etc.
What advantages does the giclée printing process offer?

-
