GICLEE CANVAS – AFFORDABLE ART
When it comes to home decoration or doing up the interiors of a workplace, giclee prints on canvas is the first thing one thinks of. Those who have not heard of it might wonder what exactly giclee is. Giclee, print that has literally revolutionized art work reproduction, is originally a French word, which means “to spray”. Now, the name itself is suggestive of the fact that the reproduced art work with the help of giclee technology would appear so original that it looks as if the painting on canvas might have been fresh and recent. Giclee is the process of recreating original art work or any other digitized image of photographs or any art done on a two-dimensional medium using oil, pastel, ink or acrylics, by printing the same on any printing medium.
Giclee printing of any art work or photograph is carried out with the help of high quality large format inkjet printers, on canvas, water color paper, or photo paper. The advantage of this kind of printing is that the final output lasts for a number of years and people like it for its quality and clarity, which sometimes looks even better than original work of art. A number of professionals from the art and painting fraternity have appreciated giclee printing technology, and have been using this to get reprinted versions of their original work. The giclee printing may work out to be slightly costlier than other form of printing because here the printing is done in small quantities, which is actually beneficial for those who place small orders, as compared to others whereas in others you have to order a minimum of 500 pieces at a time. Giclee prints are always hand trimmed and that is the reason they look more original and you can also add your imagination to the final print on canvas, by applying paint over certain areas, according to your liking, to create uniqueness and give a personalized touch.
