Michael,

Gicl�e is a form of digital printing; a fancy name for inkjet printing for fine art. See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gicl>�e

Other forms include xerographic reproduction and even today's offset printing is digital -- to a point.

For best quality (most life-like, rich intense color), low quantity, I'd be leaning toward large-format inkjet. Archive is 75-100 years or longer (depending upon ink type, print medium, light levels, UV glass, temperature, humidity, etc., up to about 200 years). You can check with Epson or Canon.

Maybe someone else has experience with the other technologies...
