What are Giclée Prints?
Giclée (zhee-CLAY) prints are
generated from high resolution digital files and printed with archival quality inks onto
various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. Giclée prints are
advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want
to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand.
Are canvas giclées superior to
paper prints?
Yes, they are more beautiful and
elegant. Canvas doesn't need to be framed with protective glass so the image can be seen
clearly without bothersome glares. The natural texture of the canvas gives the exact look
and feel of an original oil painting. Canvas giclées prints are tougher and far more
durable than paper prints.
What printing method do you use?
Our canvas prints are
made by printing directly on the canvas with the giclée method. They are not paper
transfers. With this method the printer puts millions of color ink droplets onto the
artist's canvas in order to reproduce the image. After printing we seal the surface with
an UV and humidity protective transparent gloss coating.
How long will the print last
without fading?
According to Wilhelm Research our
canvases will last 75 years when displayed indoors.
