A giclée print is not a poster. But what are the differences?

A certified giclée print is a high quality art print and the printing process is complex. First the original work of art is photographed and scanned into a computer. Then the scans are matched with the original in size, color and tone, and only after approval the limited-edition series are printed. Using pigment based inks and the highest quality acid free archival paper, the technique achieves a print that looks identical to the original piece of art. Giclée prints are often seen in galleries and even museums. They are signed and numberd to a limited edition and are therefor importend voor collectors.
