Portrait Example with Photograph

A giclee (jhee-clay) print is a French word meaning the spraying of ink.  It is a term used to refer to a unique printing technology.  A giclee print is the closest mechanical duplication of an original artwork that is currently possible.  The inks are water based, offer a high UV resistance, and under museum archival conditions are light-fast up to 70 years.
