| What is a Giclée on canvas? Giclée, pronounced "zhee-clay,"French for "that which is sprayed," is the term commonly used for the world's most advanced digital fine art printmaking process. With the arrival of the Roland printer, we are now able to use six highly stable color pigments compared to the traditional four(CMYK). Plus, with greater archival characteristics, the durability of the inks are now exceeding 100 years. Giclée printing on the Roland printers begins by loading a roll of paper or canvas on the machine. The digital file containing the artist's approved version of the print is processed by the system's computer, controlling six heads each spraying a pigmented ink. The heads traverse the width of the media as it slowly moves through the printer at a rate of one inch per minute. The process for a single print or canvas is complete in approximately one hour, depending on the size of the image. What is a Canvas Transfer? Canvas transfers have been recognized over the past decade as an elegant alternative to lithographic images framed with glass. Canvas transfers give the look and texture of an oil painting to paper art by simply transferring color onto an artist canvas. First, a lithograph on paper is coated with acrylic emulsion containing the highest recommended amount of UV inhibitors. Then, when the acrylic is dry, the print is covered with a solution that helps to separate the image from the paper on which it was printed. The image in now bonded to the acrylic and free of the paper. This film is then carefully bonded to the highest quality wrap-around artist canvas. Finally the image undergoes a series of rigorous inspections that insure the finished image is of superior quality. The result is a beautifully unique reproduction that maintains the integrity of the lithograph while increasing its appeal and value. |
