Ruth Karp Artist About Giclée

The word, giclée, (pronounced ghee-clay) is French for to squirt or spurt. The original painting (the artist's image) is digitally captured by an ultra-sophisticated digital professional 4x5 camera containing 108 million pixels about 335Mb per shot, using a state of the art universal spectrum polarized lighting system. After color correction and proofing, a giclee of the original is printed on to waterfast museum quality rag paper or canvas using a series of tiny spray nozzles that emit many millions of droplets per second. This method gives a MUCH HIGHER RESOLUTION THAN LITHOGRAPHY. Because of the way the millions of drops are sprayed and mixed using the 7 color pigmented ink system, you get a wider range of color than almost any other type of print available on the market, with up to 16.3 million colors. The translucency of the museum quality Giclée shows exactly like the original and when framed CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE ORIGINAL.
