Canvas Print, as its name, generally refer to
professional quality reproduction of image onto
canvas (as base media), instead of paper.
The printing technology is known as Gicl?
(pronounced “zhee-clay”, is an invented name for
the process of making fine art prints from a
digital source). The word “giclee”, from the
French language word “le gicleur” meaning
“nozzle”, or more specifically “gicler” meaning
“to squirt, spurt, or spray”. Gicl?s are
specifically targeted to being displayed in
indoor lighting; generally bright, direct
lighting, such as galleries or offices.
Quality reproduction, color fidelity and
long-term achievability are the major
attributes of Giclee printing machines. In
general, Giclee is similar to ink-jet or
burble jet technology (Inkjet - commonly used in
HP printer; Burble jet - Canon printer). Both
techniques use liquid ink fired through
specially designed print heads. However, the
terms have evolved to refer to separate and
specific printing methods and there are major
differences between the two.
