Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay), a French term meaning "spray of ink", is a process that utilizes the IRIS printer, the most sophisticated digital printer for fine art to date. Pushing the leading edge of art printmaking, digital printmaking has earned its reputation as one of the most creative mediums available to today's working artists. Its capabilities of range and responsiveness are virtually unparalled in the fine art world. The prints it produces are well known for their color density, saturation and brilliance.

One of the defining attributes of the IRIS printer is its ability to print on fine papers. The continuous tone spray of water soluable, dye based inks reacts distinctly to each paper's surface, allowing a diverse spectrum of intensity and depth. The paper used for "The Thief" is 100% cotton rag paper which has a propietary HALS/UV protective coating; this imparts a mild waterproofing and improves the appearance of the print by punching up the color while deepening the blacks. The results are impressive.
