The High Quality Of Giclee Replica Prints

By Stephen Harris


Bare walls are boring, and you definitely do not want your home to be boring. You should fill your walls, but you do not want to do it with just any kind of art. The pieces that adorn your walls should be colorful, interesting, and look resplendent. If you really want the color and quality of your prints to look fantastic, you should consider giclee replica prints.

Beyond decorating for yourself, many people like to decorate in order to impress guests and neighbors. Your next dinner party will include lots of conversation about your new artwork if they are giclee quality.

There are many cheap replicas that are mass produced and do not use the same technology as giclees. These will have no drama or dimension though, and often look flat. Buying a giclee means that you are getting higher quality at an affordable price, which is a big win for you.

The way they are made is through the use of very advanced printing technology. The makers use ink jet printers, but these are not like the ones you have at home. Most home ones have only two or up to six tanks of ink to reproduce color. These advanced printers have anywhere from 8 to 12 ink tanks to make sure the color is multidimensional and vivid. They also have incredible details that really stand out.

To do this, first the original piece must be scanned using high resolution scanners. That scan can then be used to produce a wide variety of prints on various types of substrate. Many people choose canvas because that is by far the most popular surface. However, you can special order something done on metal, foil or glass instead.

There are advantages for the artist in choosing this medium instead of others. One is the quality of the prints, but also because due to the scanned image, they can make small batches to keep costs low, and print more as needed if they sell out. This prevents them from having to shell out thousands or even hundreds of thousands up front for a larger mass production. This helps smaller artists who are just starting out and do not have the capital for a larger order. They also will not lose money on mass productions that do not sell out.

These files do not deteriorate over time, since they are digital. They will be as vibrant as the day they scanned decades later. The traditional method of film or negatives do deteriorate or even get completely ruined over time, so this is also a safer way to archive the art.

Some people collect artwork with an eye towards just decorating. Others may do it as in investment, because they know that the piece may appreciate over time, gaining value. Some people do not think this is possible with prints, but it is with giclees. Some do appreciate over time and can fetch very large sums in the thousands at art auctions and galleries. So you are not just investing in your decor, but also possibly in your bank account.
