The Eternal Beauty Of Digital Prints On Canvas

A freak discovery in the early 1990s, that of the giclee prints, has become a great seller over the years. Today you can order photo to canvas print work with just a simple email. However, the world has really moved on since that day in 1990 when a printmaker accidentally stumbled onto what he called giclee meaning both nozzle and the act of spraying. This was exactly what the giclee was then. A modified inkjet printer, ordinary printer’s ink and a scanner produced what was raved about as fine art and hung on the walls of excellent galleries.

However, today’s photo digital prints are so far ahead of the giclee prints of early days as it have evolved to become an entirely different piece of art altogether. The reason is attributed to technology and artistry. These days the latest printers, the finest nozzles and the best scanners are used besides fine quality canvas that are treated to be resistant from scratches and archival inks that will ensure the durability of these photo digital prints for at least a couple of generations. Of course in order to ensure long life of these exclusive prints one has to take a fair amount of care and protect them from harsh sunlight, smoke, dust and dirt.

There are some of the finest printers in the US that have been involved in photo to canvas print work for almost two decades now. The entire task of obtaining best results has now been simplified. All you need to do is to select the best quality photos and electronically expand them to the size you want the photo digital prints in. You will need to ensure that the grains do not split and there is no hint of shake or blur in order that the result is up to your expectation. For a check of the resolution there is a thermometer on the website that will help you confirm this. If the thermometer reads green your photo file is all right for the photo to canvas print work. Of course, there is no doubt that bigger the file and better its quality; the better will be the reproduction.

For your photo to canvas order, you will need to indicate your option. The options at your disposal are those of the rolled prints, the rolled prints with the stretcher bars of your choice and the prints hand-stretched and delivered by FedEx. The website will indicate the cost of individual options. The maximum size for mounting is 32x40 irrespective of whether you pick the 1 ½” stretcher bar or the ¾” stretcher bars. Shipping is free and there are no handling charges either.
