Derived from the French, "giclée" means "sprayed" and is an advanced digital printmaking technology involving archival quality inks that are finely jet streamed onto fine archival papers. Giclee printing provides superior color accuracy and incredible detail over other modes of reproduction. All of our Giclees are printed on professional-grade archival paper.

Giclee prints can be found in New York’s Metropolitan Museum as well as galleries and auction houses throughout the world. Individual Giclee prints have fetched many thousands of dollars at auction.

I wish I knew why it was so fucking expensive and how so many people on etsy can afford it, unless they're lying about what it is...

giclee's are considered "fine art" as opposed to a regular print or a poster or whatever. They are archival quality, printed completely acid free with archival inks. You can choose the surface they are printed on. They last up to 300 years. The quality of the print itself is amazing and just not comparable to a regular print.
