Giclee Canvas Prints

These kinds of prints are high quality canvases which utilise the finer aspects of ink jet printing. The word ‘Giclee’ actually has its linguistic origins in French, referring to the process of ‘spraying’ which a digital printer produces.

The benefits of giclee canvas prints

The term ‘giclee’ originates from a French word meaning ‘to spray’ and reflects the style of printing made possible by high end ink jet printers which are able to produce images at a higher level of clarity and quality than was conceivable only a generation ago. The benefits of giclee canvas prints are apparent to the professional artist, but the technological revolution’s results are just as advantageous to the amateur photographer.

Anybody can now produce stunning wall art in the form of photo canvases, ready to be hung with pride anywhere you see fit. For the professional, this gives previously unimaginable opportunities to produce high end, quality prints at a fraction of the previous cost. No longer must the isolated artist fester in a Parisian bedsit wallowing on his poverty and artistic principles while awaiting the big breakthrough; nowadays, the ease of printing means that he can get his ideas together and print out his whole collection for the cost of a weekend in Paris!

These developments also mean that everyday people can also produce high quality work with beautifully clear images, showing off all the benefits of digital photography.
