  The organization of giclee printing with its conceptual cousin - inkjet printing - has light emitting diode many people to question the validity of the medium as a true fine art system. To handle this, I do believe that it is first essential to consider the real history of artwork printmaking and see if giclee publishing finish the parameters set out therein.
  
  Fine art printmaking has traditionally been predicated on the principle of developing a master plate - known as the matrix - from the original and applying this to reproduce a pre-determined number of 'features' of the original artwork. Traditionally, the matrix was then ruined by the artist, producing a group of truly limited-edition prints. The more old-fashioned printing practices including lithography, etching and linocut have changed into art forms themselves and needed a degree of knowledge to reproduce the original to the artists specific requirements.
  
  In these times, the production of a printing matrix is no longer necessary as the good quality reading practices used by printing companies leads to a great facsimile of-the original painting or picture. Giclee printing offers incredibly high levels of fidelity and richness of color when compared to other 'traditional' printing practices and since no screen or other mechanical device is employed, there's no obvious dot pattern. The experience that is employed involves the careful track of the colour process through the knowledge of the colourspace and the usage of colour profiling methods that the unit works within.
  
  The print-on-demand character of the publishing process permits photographers and artists to keep up complete get a handle on over the artistic integrity of the work which, coupled with the established archival permanence of giclee designs (when coupled with specifically designed output media and inks) helps to ensure that the artist's work is going to be experienced for decades. Normally, the understanding involving the artist and their customers that the edition is really limited must be preserved. The matrix is no longer destroyed, but the original scanned document must be removed o-r taken from circulation upon reaching the defined number of introduced features, but this has always been the case and the development of giclee printing has no effect on this common understanding.

  Giclee printing is definitely a fine art printing technique and one that is really liberating for photographers and artists wishing to share their work with the largest possible audience though achieving a good that was previously unobtainable without big expense.
