GicleGicle (French for "spray") is an inkjet process for making art prints, or an art print made using this method (first done in the early 1990s). Originally the term applied to Iris prints created on Scitex Corp. Iris model drum piezo-head inkjet proofers. Proofers are specialized commercial printing machines designed to proof or show what the final multi-color process printing will look like before mass production begins. Now the term gicle is used for any high-resolution, large-format inkjet digital printer with fade-resistant inks or dyes. Though originally intended for proofing, many artists and photographers use gicle printers as an alternative to lithography for limited editions or reproductions. ITNH/Ixia, Mutoh ColorSpan, Roland, Epson, Canon, Kodak, HP, and Mimaki are well-known wide-format gicle printer manufacturers. Links * Digital Printing Imaging Association
