Roberto Tamayo created lithographs in the 1940s that used textured paper to create relief prints that could produce multiple copies. In the 1980s, digital technology like inkjet printers emerged but had issues with ink permanence and paper size. By the early 1990s, higher resolution commercial printers overcame these problems. Jack Duganne coined the term "giclée" to refer to fine art prints made with permanent ink on these digital printers, like those used by his company Duganne Atelier to reproduce paintings by artists such as Israeli artist Ilana Raviv.

paper (2.3.21). Tamayo’s print pushed the boundaries of printmaking beyond the traditional flat surface to such an extent that the print itself became a relief from which multiple copies could be produced. In the 1980s the digital age thrust art into a new era with the introduction of computer graphics and other technical innovations that created new opportunities for artists. One of the most notable innovations in print technology was the inkjet printer. It allowed an electronic image to be re-created on a paper surface, but this model had serious weaknesses for use as an art medium because the ink color was not permanent and the paper size was limited. In the early 1990s, however, high-resolution commercial print devices overcame these disadvantages. While working at the digital printing company Nash Editions, the printmaker Jack Duganne (b. 1942) introduced the term giclée to identify and separate fine art print methods that used permanent ink color from their commercial counterparts. Duganne now leads his own print shop, Duganne Atelier, where he uses the giclée process to print the work of such significant contemporary artists as Ilana Raviv (b. 1945). Raviv, an Israeli artist, works in a number of different media and has her work reproduced for commercial distribution. A reproduction of one of her paintings, Doll with Toys (2.3.22) has been replicated using the
