How does a giclee print differ from an Iris print?
Giclee prints are sometimes referred to as Iris prints, but the piggybacking of terms can be confusing – and misleading. Iris prints usually refer to an earlier process developed for posters and proofs. Iris and Roland giclee represent the evolution of the process used for making Iris prints to the level of fine art, with a more refined system for fine-tuning colors and inks that, on average, resist fading 10 times longer than those used in Iris prints. A good analogy: giclee is to Iris prints what serigraphs are to screen prints.
