[color=#888888]Giclee (zhee-klay) - The French word "giclee" is a feminine noun that means a spray of liquid. The word may have been borrowed from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt".[/color]

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gicl%C3%A9e] Giclee is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers. The name formerly applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is usually used by print shops to describe high quality printing. [/url]
