I feel compelled to note that "giclée" is a fancy word for "inkjet printed". It has connotations of higher quality, but it's not a distinct process. See https:/

- lisper 10y agoThat's not quite true. It's a particularly high quality of ink-jet print. You can easily tell the difference between a giclee and the output of an HP OfficeJet.
- glial 10y agoAlso it's often done on some type of canvas.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoSince we're talking art and commerce, I smell a business opportunity - selling inkjet printers with Giclée Enabled™ label, at extra markup.
- klodolph 10y agoIt's still the same process. The printers used to make "giclée" printes are ordinary inkjet printers, they're just not HP OfficeJet printers—probably.
- lisper 10y agoDepends on what you consider "ordinary". A giclee printer can fill a room and cost many thousands of dollars. e.g.: http://www.adorama.com/iesp20000.html?gclid=CNz7x4-in88CFQqEfgodCe0I4A http://www.adorama.com/iesp20000.html?gclid=CNz7x4-in88CFQqE...
- klodolph 10y agoI have a similar printer. The word "giclee" does not even appear in the description, but "inkjet" does. It's still an ordinary injet printer. It's bigger and more accurate than most. I've never seen them put in rooms so small that they'd "fill the room", I've usually seen them in rooms with several printers.
- lisper 10y ago> It's bigger and more accurate than most. Then it isn't ordinary.
- l0b0 10y agoFrom Wikipedia (and professional photographers I've spoken to mirror this sentiment), “since [giclée] is an unregulated word it has no associated warranty of quality.” It's like “premium”.
