Canvas giclee printing has several advantages over other, more traditional methods. Not only can a giclee printer infuse more color and detail into a reproduction, but since the original art or photograph is digitally scanned, it can be reproduced to almost any size and adapted to different media. Many a canvas giclee can be found in museums and fine galleries around the world these days, and they have been sold for thousands of dollars.
If you think that canvas giclee print technology is only available to professionals, you will be glad to know you are mistaken. This printing process is not only accessible to amateur artists and photographers, but also quite affordable. Canvas Press uses the canvas giclee print process to reproduce your photos on 100 percent cotton canvas. Your canvas giclee is not only treated for UV light resistance, but can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge without damaging the color. Once your image is reproduced, the canvas is then professionally stretched on a stretcher frame. You have the option of choosing different wrap styles. A standard wrap leaves a white border on the outside edge of the canvas. A gallery wrap is where the print area extends beyond the main image dimensions so that it can stretch over the sides of the frame. With a gallery wrap, your canvas giclee is ready to hang when you receive it, and doesn’t require glass or a frame.
Canvas Press makes it easy for you to turn your favorite photo into a high quality canvas giclee with our exclusive online Canvas Creation Tool. There are only five easy steps to follow:
1. Choose the orientation of your picture: landscape or portrait.
2. Select the size of your canvas. It can be as small as 10 x 8 inches or as large as 30 x 40 inches, or almost any size in between.
3. Choose the type of canvas your want: standard stretched canvas, gallery wrap with an image border, gallery wrap with a colored border, and un-stretched canvas. All our canvas is specially treated and your picture is printed with archival inks to make sure it’s still beautiful decades from now.
