Unlikely though it may sound giclee comes from the French verb gicler - to splash, to squirt. And this is because the ink is squirted through fine jets on to the canvas or paper. The whole process is computer-controlled with an amazing degree of accuracy. Although the aim is not to produce a replica of an original photograph or painting, but to create a new image based on the original I would defy anyone quickly to determine which is the original.
The problem with some early giclee prints was that they were found to be fugitive. This means that the inks faded quickly when exposed to sunlight. Not something you want to happen to your treasured print! Recently, this problem has been solved by the use of much more stable ink-sets and specially coated papers and canvas. We now have a second generation of giclee printers, which are able to use pigmented inks that are extremely stable, with the paper being fed into the printer from a flat bed or from a roll. Print longevity is now in excess of 75 years
