Benefits of Giclee Canvas Art

For those looking to spruce up their office, home or workspace with fine art, giclee canvas art is an excellent option. Giclee canvas gives the same elegant look of an original oil painting, and there is even technology available to give these canvases the authentic look and feel of brushstrokes. Some of the most famous and popular artists of all-time are featured on giclee canvas.

From Monet to Rembrandt to Van Gogh, you will be able to duplicate the authentic look and feel of the works of these masters on any giclee canvas.

The Quality of Giclee Art Repeoductions

The quality of the Giclee print rivals and exceeds that of traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries worldwide.

If kept out of direct sunlight and excessive humidity, most Giclee reproductions can last for well over 100 years. Additionally, printmakers now have the luxury of adding the look and feel of authentic brushstrokes to their Giclee art reproductions.

These images are so impressive in fact, that it is not uncommon for a collection of Giclee art reproductions to be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in high-end galleries throughout the world.

Advantages of Giclee Art Prints

One of the primary advantages to artists and publishers creating Giclee art prints is the control available by manipulation of the digital file. Artists and publishers can use software like photoshop to alter their original images to improve the size, color, tone, clarity and definition.

Also, artists can design or create their own print image completely on a computer using these special designer software programs, thus producing effects that could not be created otherwise.

The cost per Giclee print can be quite high because the paper, ink machinery and specialist time involved are expensive. The machines are very slow often taking an hour to print one print sheet.

However, it should be noted that one of most impressive features of Giclee fine art prints is not only the quality, but also the quantity that is able to be produced.

Benefits of Giclee Reproductions

Giclee art reproductions are advantageous to artists and photographers who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, an infinite number of additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and at a reasonable cost.

Digitally archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film will inevitably do. Another huge advantage of Giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to virtually any size and onto various media, which allows the artist the luxury of customizing prints for a specific request if necessary.

What is a Giclee Printing

Giclee art reproductions are produced from high resolution digital scanners and printed with archival quality inks onto various mediums that include canvas, fine art paper, and photo-based paper.

The most common medium to print on is canvas (even photos on canvas, to create a unique photo gift). This ensures that the Giclee prints are as close to the originals as possible, not only in color, but also in texture. And canvas prints are much more durable than paper as they do not crease when rolled for mailing.

Giclee reproductions are created using professional 8-Color ink-jet printers.

The printers are capable of producing incredibly vivid and detailed art reproductions for both the fine art and photographic industries.
