Why You Need Giclee Replica Prints

By Stephen Harris


Many people want to fill their wall with works of fine art, but they think that it will cost them more than their mortgage in order to do it. Fortunately, they are wrong about the cost. You do not have to buy a costly original painting in order to have the quality that you would expect from an original or a museum reproduction when you buy giclee replica prints instead.

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.

The way they are made is through the use of very advanced printing technology. The makers use ink jet printers, but these are not like the ones you have at home. Most home ones have only two or up to six tanks of ink to reproduce color. These advanced printers have anywhere from 8 to 12 ink tanks to make sure the color is multidimensional and vivid. They also have incredible details that really stand out.

To do this, first the original piece must be scanned using high resolution scanners. That scan can then be used to produce a wide variety of prints on various types of substrate. Many people choose canvas because that is by far the most popular surface. However, you can special order something done on metal, foil or glass instead.

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.

The scans that are made of the painting can be kept on a computer as a digital image file forever. The scan can be brought back up anytime in the future for paintings, and it will look as good as it did on day one because there is no fear of deterioration at all.

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.
