Giclée DefinedGiclée is used to describe any high-resolution, large-format ink-jet printer output with fade-resistant dye or pigment-based inks. These inks are guaranteed to last up to 200 years, unlike common dye-based inks which are subject to fading over time.The word giclée was coined to represent any digital print used as fine art. Its intent was to distinguish fine art prints from commercial digital print. In much the same way that the word serigraph is used to denote a fine art silk screen print, the word giclée is to be used to denote a fine art digital print. Though originally intended for proofing, many artists and photographers use ink-jet printers as an alternative to lithography, serigraphy or serilith for limited edition original prints or reproductions
