2. What is a giclée?

A giclée, commonly pronounced "zhee-clay," is the use of the ink-jet printing process for making fine art large format digital images.

The term, sometimes anglicized as giclee, is used to describe any high-resolution, large-format ink-jet printer output with fade-resistant dye- or pigment-based inks. It is common for these printers to use between six and twelve colour inks. The use of dye-based inks requires special coating to avoid fading.

Though originally intended for proofing, ink-jet printers are used by many artists as an alternative to lithography, serigraphy or serilith for limited edition original prints or reproductions.

3. What do the sizes mean?

The sizes are shown in inches as width x height, and are the dimensions of the artwork exclusive of mat or frames.
