While art giclee printing was only developed within the last two decades, it has quickly become the preferred method of fine art reproduction. Art giclee prints now hang in the finest museums and galleries and are sold at auction for thousands of dollars. Art giclee, however, is not just for professional artists and photographers.
Art giclee printing offers the same advantages to the amateur photographer and artist as it does to the professional, and many cutting edge printers have begun to offer this method to the general public. Using the giclee process, ordinary photographs can be scanned, resized, enhanced and then reproduced on canvas, resulting in unique, original and very personal art.
With the art giclee process, your photographs can be transformed into beautiful decorative art. Portraits of your family and friends, action shots of your kids playing soccer or basketball, awe-inspiring landscapes and nature shots, even photos of your cat or dog will become fine art when they are art giclee printed onto canvas. The possibilities are endless: photos of graduations, weddings and family reunions; your kid’s first steps, first bicycle, first car. All of these treasured memories become even more special when printed with the art giclee process on to canvas.
Art Giclee on Canvas
There are many practical reasons for printing onto canvas, aside from its classy and professional appearance. A photograph art giclee printed onto a stretched canvas can be hung as is on your walls. If printed with a gallery wrap or a colored border, your canvas does even not require a frame. Art giclee on canvas also needs no protective glass. No glass means no glare or reflection to distort the image, or change or dull the colors. Even non-glare glass can affect the color and image detail, and will hide the special texture of your art giclee. Since there’s no glass, no special lighting is needed, and that makes displaying your art giclee print as easy as hanging it on the wall. The canvas of your art giclee print is treated for UV light resistance, and can even be gently cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge without damaging the color.
Art Giclee for Your Photos
Using the art giclee process means that your photograph will be reproduced using professional quality materials. Your photo art will be printed on specially treated, 20mm, 100% cotton canvas using specially formulated archival inks. This means that, properly displayed and cared for, your art giclee print can last for generations. With art giclee printing, your special memories are not only beautiful art but family heirlooms, providing years of enjoyment and interest to yourself, your children, your grandchildren, and even beyond.
