Canvas Giclee
Canvas Printing: Increase Sales By Offering Photographs On Fine Art Media
As consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their demand for long lasting, brilliant prints with a different look compared to regular photo paper, canvas is one of the fastest growing media.
The reason for the high demand are pretty obvious when you see a skillfully made canvas (giclee) print. The canvas texture reveals brilliant, saturated colors. The canvas can be mounted and displayed without being under glass, therefore not causing any unwanted reflections. There is also a perceived added value to selling and buying a canvas photograph compared to a print made on cheap photographic paper.
The method used to print directly on canvas without any generational loss is called giclee: it is accomplished by using a high quality wide format pro level printer with archival inks. Archival inks are a key in print permanence. These inks are referred to as “pigment inks”. Color pigments are encapsulated and then dissolved into a liquid medium to flow smoothly through inkjet nozzles. Typical resolution of these printers is 1440 to 2880 DPI (Dots Per Inch).
Another important factor is the selection of a suitable canvas to print on; the materials are no different than traditional canvas used for painting. Some canvas is a blend of synthetic and natural fiber, common referred as cotton/poly. What makes different canvas brands unique is the proprietary coating applied on top to receive and bind the pigments. It is important to select quality manufactured canvas. US as well as European manufacturers provide a wide variety of materials.
While some photographers have purchased the equipment to print canvas in house, many others prefer to outsource to giclee printing companies. In a fast changing technology, it is sometimes advisable to let professional printers deal with equipment that will require costly service contracts and become quickly obsolete.
Canvas needs to be finished with coating to prevent scuffing, a degree of water resistance as well as increased UV protection. Liquid lamination, sprays and low temperature vacuum presses are all acceptable methods. Never leave canvas without finishing. Although some manufacturers state their canvas does not need to be coated, I strongly advise lamination.
Finally, shop around when looking for a giclee printing provider. Prices vary tremendously and they are not always related to quality. Local as well as national companies offer canvas printing services with varying degrees of experience. Because this is such a specialized field, make sure you do as much research as you can and ask questions; a good printer will be happy to work with you to answer any questions.
