Those looking for wholesale canvas printing usually fall into one of two groups. The first group is artists who would like to increase their customer base by selling high quality reproductions of the art they produce. The second group is composed of professionals who need large amounts of art reproduction quickly to supply decorators or storefronts.

What is the technology?

Since wholesale canvas printing uses the Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) print process an artist may control the production values of his or her work. The Giclee process is also more economical for an artist than any other method of reproduction since the printer retains the image in digital format; a small run of prints is possible in a very short time frame. With Giclee it is even possible for a single print be reproduced when the artist has an order this is called print on demand and frees the artist from large runs of prints that may or may not sell. With print on demand an artist is free to create art and is saved from the onerous task of managing a warehouse.

Wholesale canvas printing is flexible and the finished products can be delivered as gallery wrapped canvases suitable to deliver to your final customer immediately, as standard stretched canvases suitable for framing or non-stretched canvases for treatment to be decided at a latter date. When the artists work has generated enough interest all of these options can be employed to provide options to the final customer.

Will it last?

The archival pigment based inks used in Giclee prints are paired with artist canvas, fine art paper and other media and the correct combinations will last for decades. Archival inks combined with 100% cotton canvas and given a UV coating are expected to last for a century or more and this expected life span is greatly appreciated by purchasers of Giclee prints. The Giclee must of course be treated as a fine art painting and kept out of direct sunlight.

Is it still art?

With the increase in digital art and artists many fine art pieces only exist as Giclee prints, the ease of moving from a purely digital image to a Giclee print or a thousand Giclee prints and the artistic flexibility Giclee gives the artist have helped to make this form of reproduction the favorite of many artists and photographers.

The Giclee print on canvas has become accepted in the art world and more Giclee prints are appearing in world class museums and famous art galleries every year. The popularity of Giclee in the art trade has prompted the Fine Art Trade Guild to decree a limit of 1000 on all Giclee limited edition reproduction runs. The question of legitimacy is being answered every day as more and more artist, photographers and print houses turn to Giclee technology to not only reproduce fine art but to produce fine original art.

Giclee printing has its detractors but the number grows smaller every year. Anyone considering the use of this technology should bear in mind that the older accepted methods of art reproduction including photography where criticized and their value as real art was downplayed when they first came on the scene.
