Inkjet prints are prints made from digital files onto different types of paper. They can be printed on material that looks like photographic paper or on a wide variety of fine art papers and canvas. The inkjet printer squirts tiny droplets of ink onto the paper. The graphic arts industry has named them Giclée (jhee-clay) prints. This is taken from the French word meaning "to spray."

Some inkjet processes use dye-based inks and others use pigment-based inks. All inkjet prints are made up of many small dots of ink. They are not continuous tone prints. Inkjet processes do have the advantage that prints can be made on many different kinds of media. These prints can have a very pleasing look quite different than a standard photographic print. The ability to put photographic reproductions of paintings and watercolors onto any number of fine art papers is where pigmented Giclées look best.
