"The high end of inkjet printing is the gicl\u00e9e print \u2026 . The name is derived from the French verb \"gicler\" meaning to squirt, or more accurately in this case, an extremely fine spray of many different sized droplets. This application of overlapping dots of ink mixes, forming additional color combinations. The application of the inks in this printing process is so fine that there are no discernible dots or droplets on the final print.",

"Hayes' festival painting displays a coastal scene with vibrantly dressed people searching for oysters. The piece is printed using gicl\u00e9e , a process that involves squirting microscopic dots of ink onto fine-quality archival paper or canvas. The ink is actually absorbed into the paper, giving the piece a look very close to the original.",
