Giclee printing is becoming popular at an alarming rate nowadays. But some artists and publishers are still unaware of it. Some know about it but have never bothered to give it a try. Once you have used it, you will love it forever. You will get astounded by the quality and originality of the prints.
The key technology used in Giclee is the special 8-color ink technology and specially designed scanners. The hue, saturation and pattern of the original master piece is retained as it is in the copies. Even if you take a thousand copies, there is not even a scintilla of reduction in quality. The accuracy in color is very suprising. The application of Giclee printing is not only limited to artists. Everyone can get benefit from this technology. These type of printed arts make great and unique gifting ideas.
These days, there are many online websites that are essentially publishers or photographers, who offer Giclee printing services. If we have something to be converted into Giclee print, all we have to do is to upload our photos to their website. They charge a fee for their service. In most cases, this fee is very small just to cover the cost of ink and shipping. We may ask them to print it on anything- Tshirt, canvas, handbags.etc. Usually it all gets done in a week or two. Shortly told, Giclee print technology is gradually replacing the traditional print technology, which is a good thing.
