Giclče
refers to a new method of creating limited edition prints. The Giclče
process begins after a transparency is produced from the
original painting, or the painting is scanned directly by a
high-end drum scanner. Special software programs are used to
manipulate the attributes of the digitized image to achieve the
artist's own desired requirements. The approved image is then
output to a sophisticated device called an Iris printer while
the printmaker/technician verifies the color management
elements. The word Giclče itself is French, and means spurt or
squirt, however the spray is more like a mist, each droplet
being the size of a red blood cell.
