You may have come across the term “giclée” before if you’ve done some research on canvas printing. But if you haven’t, you’d best know what it is sooner than later. Because believe it or not, chances are that you’ve already done giclée printing without even knowing it!

Giclée Printing 101

The Basics

Pronounced as “zhee-clay,” giclée is the process of making fine art prints from a digital file using inkjet printers. The term comes from a French word that means “to spray”.

Artists use giclée printing to duplicate their original paintings. They can also reproduce photographs or computer generated art from digital files to canvas prints. Printing digitally allows artists to modify all aspects of their giclée canvas prints, from custom sizes to finer design details.

Introducing the Photo Canvas

The photo canvas print is fast becoming one of Online Poster Printing’s most popular products. We are very happy with the popularity of our canvas prints and want to share it with more people. In this post, we will take a closer look at the photo canvas product. Learn about gallery wrapping, canvas printing and product detail.

Our >photo canvas is printed on a textured artist canvas combining an element of old world art with new digital art. The combination makes for a unique presentation that easily matches with both a modern or traditional interior design theme.

Notice the fine detail of the image is complimented by the textured material. It is also possible to create painting-like prints using photo editing software. The photo canvas allows you to create artwork in whichever style you wish.

Our photo canvas is also offered in a gallery wrap finish. If you choose the gallery wrap finish, our Printing Pro will coat your photo canvas with a protective satin finish and stretch it over a gallery wrap frame that is constructed from durable 3/4″ in. stretcher bars.

The final product is a beautiful canvas displaying your photo on the wall. A photo canvas is perfect for wedding photos, family portraits and artistic photography.
