what is a giclee on canvas?
A giclee (pronounced zhee-CLAY, a French term meaning "spray of ink") is a high-resolution, high-quality reproduction individually printed on a special large format printer. These beautiful digital reproductions are virtually unparalleled in quality and range of color, and are at the leading edge of fine art printmaking.
Our giclee on canvas items are the most stunning items we offer. Differing from our canvas edition items, the image of the giclee on canvas is actually printed onto the surface of the canvas. The quality and detail of the images is truly amazing.
canvas stretching
Our giclee on canvas items are stretched on 3/4 inch wooden stretcher bars. We wrap the canvas in a museum wrap style, which has staples in the back and white canvas on the sides, making this a ready to hang item. Sawtooth hanging hardware and wall bumpers are installed.
benefits of a giclee
Color: Traditional fine art printing is normally lithography. Lithographs are made up of tiny dots of four individual ink colors. Giclees not only incorporate more ink colors, but they have such high resolution and color range that there are no dots comprising a giclee print, rather it is a continuous smooth tone of vibrant and rich color.
Quality: Each of our giclee on canvas items are digitally prepared for the printer and then meticulously scrutinized by our team of printmakers to ensure quality and color correctness. Giclee printing is widely recognized as being the highest quality of all existing fine art printing methods.
Canvas: We use 100% cotton archival artists canvas for all of our giclee on canvas items.
