giclee
Fine art print
Giclee is a high-quality inkjet print, typically of fine art.
The process uses archival inks sprayed onto canvas or heavy paper to produce museum-quality reproductions.
Artists and galleries use giclees to sell limited-edition prints of paintings or photographs: The gallery offered signed giclees of her original watercolors.
From French for "squirted" or "sprayed."
