Giclée ( or ) is a
neologism coined in 1991 by
printmaker Jack Duganne for
fine art digital prints made on
inkjet printers. The name originally applied to
fine art prints created on
IRIS printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to suggest high quality printing but since it is an unregulated word it has no associated warranty of quality.
