Holborn Gallery utilizes the finest techiques and papers available in its print making studio. The world of fine art prints has changed dramatically in recent years with the advent of new technologies. The use of high quality printers that can produce unparalleled color and richness is very exciting for both the artist and collector. The following gives a brief background into the meaning of Giclée printmaking.

Gicleur (pronounced gee-clur) is a French term used to describe a unique continuous-tone printing technology for the creation of fine art prints. Gicleur literally means "nozzle". This refers to the millions of micron droplets that are sprayed by 4 precision nozzles onto hand-mounted archival museum quality watercolor paper. (Each droplet is 4 times smaller than a human hair.)

Giclée (pronounced gee-clay) means to squirt or to spray. A Giclée print is a print that has been sprayed with color as opposed to the traditional litho plate process that usually demonstrates a dot pattern. Even under magnification, a Giclée print appears to have a continuous tone.
