*Giclée* (pronounced
/ʒiːˈkleɪ/

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English>

"zhee-clay"
or
/dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language>

[ʒiˈkle]

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_French>

is an
invented name (i.e. a neologism

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neologism>)

for the process of making fine art

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_art>

prints

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing>

from a digital

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_image>

source using ink-jet printing

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet_printer>.

The word "giclée" is derived from the French language
word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more
specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or
spray"

[1]

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giclee#cite_note-0>.

It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giclee#cite_note-1>

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

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_prints>

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
and is often used in galleries and print
shops to denote such prints.
