| Giclee is an advanced printmaking
process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The obtainable
quality that Giclee printmaking affords, makes the reproduction
virtually indistinguishable form the original artwork. the result is
wide acceptance of high quality Giclees by Galleries, Museums and
private collectors. A Giclee print
on canvas is the closest replication of an original artwork that is
currently possible.
Giclee's can be found on display in the
world's finest Museums and Art Galleries, often they can be hard to
distinguish from originals. |
| A canvas transfer is a process where a
print image on paper is transferred to and backed up with canvas. To
accomplish this, a paper-backed print is laid on a table and coated with
a formula of acrylics. The chemicals used, integrate with the print inks
and over a two-day period are given a chance to cure between
applications.
The next day, the coated print is put
into a bath of chemicals and water and allowed to soak. At the time that
the acrylics and inks (which are one) begin to separate from the paper,
the web print is removed from the tank. It is then laid on a table where
the acrylics are peeled away from the paper. The wet, blank piece of
paper is thrown away. At this point, the film, which is thousandths of
an inch thick, is hand applied to a prepared canvas, are durable and can
be cleaned with warm water and mild soap if necessary. |
