Canvas Printing: Giclee

Canvas printing does not cost much more than paper. The artist can resell art with a much higher mark up compared to regular paper.

Giclee canvas prints for collectors:

Artists and photographers with a loyal following can profit from selling high quality prints on canvas to discerning buyers. A giclee canvas print is very archival and can be hung without glass on top of it. Giclees produced with this substrate account for over 50% of our total output. We have clients who literally tripled their income by offering canvas. Artists can spend as little or as much time as needed painting over canvas prints to create unique pieces.

The giclee decor market

The home decor market has literally exploded in the last couple of years. Many people like to buy art, not posters for their homes. At the same time they may change the look of their interior so much that some of their art may not fit any longer. Some are reluctant about plunging thousands of dollars into an original if they believe it may not go well with interior decor. Canvas printing offers a low cost alternative without sacrificing a quality look. In addition, each canvas print can be embellished quickly. It then turns into a unique piece with added value.

Giclee canvas print advantages

In addition to durability and perceived value, a canvas giclee print can be turned into the best marketing tool to enhance the price of an original. Given the fact that it will match closely or perfectly the original, it is easy to see how more people are able to enjoy and appreciate art as it was meant to be.

We also have a few fine art photographers who exclusively offer canvas prints. Canvas printing has opened a more profitable and value added market. Different types of substrates cater to pretty much any taste. Canvas materials are available in pure cotton, cotton/poly and with a variety of coating with either a high or medium white point. Some of the canvas prints we offer have an acid free coating and base as well.
