Giclée printers par excellence
AGKC is a giclée printing business. What’s giclée? Well, giclée refers to a new method of creating prints. The giclée process begins after a transparency is produced from the original painting, or the painting is scanned directly by a high-end scanner, or even photographed with a high-quality digital camera. Special software programs are used to manipulate the attributes of the digitized image to achieve the artist's own desired requirements. The approved image is then output to a sophisticated printer while the printmaker verifies the color management elements. The word giclée itself is French and means ‘spurt’ or ‘squirt,’ however the spray is more like a mist, each droplet being the size of a red blood cell.
That said, let’s be honest. Giclée is a fancy name for Ink-Jet printing – which most computer owners do every day. We just have bigger printers. But giclée has developed a deeper meaning. Expect to be surprised.
