The High Quality Of Giclee Replica Prints

Many people want to fill their wall with works of fine art, but they think that it will cost them more than their mortgage in order to do it. Fortunately, they are wrong about the cost. You do not have to buy a costly original painting in order to have the quality that you would expect from an original or a museum reproduction when you buy giclee replica prints instead.

You do not have to worry about what guests will think of your giclee reproductions, because they are so high in quality. Not only will they add color and grace to your walls, but you will impress guests and neighbors too.

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 reason this type of printing looks so good is due to advanced technology. The printers used are ink jet like what you might have at home, but very high end ones that are good for commercial use. Instead of two or five cartridges of ink, these use anywhere from eight to 12 tanks instead, which makes the color bolder and more vivid, while giving it dimension so the details really look real.

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.

The scans that are made of the painting can be kept on a computer as a digital image file forever. The scan can be brought back up anytime in the future for paintings, and it will look as good as it did on day one because there is no fear of deterioration at all.

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.
