Media: Printmaking — Iris Print Iris prints Also called giclées, Iris prints are created using the Iris printer which sprays four million droplets per second of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink to produce an image. In the hands of a trained printmaker, the resulting image is of extremely high-quality, retaining color and depth exactly as the artist had envisioned. In addition to the high quality images, the Iris printer also allows printmakers and artists to print on a wide variety of surfaces, including canvas, Japanese rice papers, and mylar. Below is an example of an iris print available from NextMonet. Click on the image to learn more about the individual artwork.
