Giclee prints evolved from Iris prints (a 4 color ink jet printer line pioneered in the late 1970s by Iris Graphics). Iris technology was first developed as a proofing process for digital prepress applications.

Special oil-based inks have been developed for giclee printers that provide better color accuracy as well as an expanded color gamut and longer life of the print. Giclee inks resist fading almost ten times longer than those used in Iris prints. With the latest generation printers, oil-based colors are used yielding a remarkable results that are much more durable than water-based inks..
