Giclee

"Giclee"is a term coined in 1991 by print maker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on ink-jet printers. The name originally applied to fine art prints created on IRIS printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to denote such prints.*
Here are some beautiful Giclee prints I found on Etsy.
