Giclee printing services include the reproduction of both hand made painting or digital photos. This is the most preferred method of reproducing fine art copies for replication or business purposes. Ink jet printers capable of copying large format prints are used in printing photos or paintings.

The first method of reproducing copies of an art or photograph back in the early nineties is done by squirting or spraying ink on a piece of paper. This has later on derived the term of art replication. It is a verb meaning spray or squirt.

This method allows the artist to manipulate the reproduction of their art work. They are free to add embellishments, frames, size alteration, and other enhancing agent in digital production. Adobe Photo Shop and other digital imaging software can be used to for art manipulation.

The printer will define the quality of print reproduction. Ink jet printers are the preferred equipments for this kind of art press production. High resolution prints does not have any dot pattern as a print results. The exact image being printed is digitally the same with the actual piece of art.

The ink jet printer should use the archival pigmented ink for long shelf life. This type of ink is said to last for more than a hundred years. This means that it is very ideal for archiving purposes. It also resilient to water and UV rays from the sun. This component gives a very high ink quality.

A particular print canvass should be use so as to withstand long storage of display purposes. Treated paper and poly cotton composed canvass is ideal to used in replicated art work. This type of paper is expensive because of the elastic and stable quality.

Although giclee printing services makes art reproduction easy, do not forget to consider authenticity rights. Providing a limited edition print out or even a sole reproduction requires legal copyrights. This is indeed the most practical technology for fine arts reproduction.
