How Giclee Replica Prints Help You And The Artist

By Stephen Harris


Blank walls are basically like a blank canvas waiting for color. That color can come in a lot of forms, but hanging one or more paintings can really make a huge difference. The good news is that you do not have to pay a small fortune for gallery style quality when you buy giclee replica prints. They look gorgeous and will bring color and drama to your bare walls.

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.

You could definitely buy regular old replicas of paintings to throw on your walls, but those are usually flat and low quality. If you want high quality but cannot afford to buy an original painting, then giclees are the way to go. They are much less expensive than an original painting, but with a high end appearance that looks like you got it directly from an art gallery.

It is the advanced technology of the printers used in this process that make the details of each piece really come to life in stunning color. This is due to the ink jet printers, which are something like what you might use at home, but with a lot of more ink tanks and higher end specs. In fact, in order to get the amazing, vivid color, printers with anywhere from 8 to 12 tanks of ink are used to stunning effect.

The first step of this painstaking process is to get a high quality scanner and scan the original artwork in its entirety. Then that scan is used to make the prints, which can be on a wide variety of surfaces, including the even popular and traditional canvas. However, you can go for glass, metal or many other substrates for a change.

While the advantages of the high quality of giclees is obvious for you as the buyer, there are also lots of huge advantages for the artist him or herself. If they are just starting out, they likely do not have much money and maybe not even enough credit to pay for a large mass producing of their work like they would have had to in the past. Instead, they can use the scanned image to make smaller batches, then reorder if that initial batch sells out. This helps keep initial costs down so that new and emerging artists do not go broke.

Since the scanned file or files are digital, they can be archived and used again and again in the future. There is no worry about negatives or slides deteriorating over time, which means that each scanned piece is saved for future printing at any time.

Even though these are reproductions, the high quality of giclee prints still attracts thousands of dollars at auctions and art houses across the world. Some artists even get tens of thousands if they limit the print run, making each one more highly coveted. So if you see a giclee from an artist you really love, you should buy it immediately knowing the quality is top notch and you are helping to support them in a way that is beneficial for everyone.
