Title: Why Artists Should Consider High-Quality Giclée Prints: Photography & Printing Services That Make a Difference
As an artist, one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is how to present your work to the world. While some artists choose to sell their original pieces, others opt for the flexibility and accessibility that prints provide. Whether you’re an established artist selling limited edition prints or just starting out, offering high-quality reproductions of your artwork can be a game changer for your business. That’s where our photography and printing services come in.
Why Sell Prints Instead of Originals?
Selling prints opens up a world of possibilities for artists. Some choose to never part with their original pieces, instead making their work available to a wider audience through limited-edition or open-edition prints. Others, especially those just entering the market, may find it difficult to sell their paintings at a price point that reflects the time, effort, and materials they’ve invested.
This is where high-quality giclée prints come in. By offering giclée prints, you can sell your work at an attractive price point while retaining the original artwork—and all the rights that come with it. It’s a practical, profitable option for both new and seasoned artists.
What is a Giclée Print?
The term "giclée" refers to a high-quality digital printing technique that reproduces artwork with stunning accuracy. Unlike standard prints, giclée prints use archival inks and are produced on fine art paper or canvas, resulting in a museum-quality print. The name comes from the French word "gicler," meaning "to squirt" or "spray," describing how the ink is applied.
But it’s not just about the printing. The process begins by photographing your original artwork using a high-resolution camera. We then carefully edit the image to ensure that every detail, color variation, and texture is faithfully captured. This high-resolution digital file becomes the foundation for your giclée prints.
Why Choose Giclée Prints?
Giclée prints are known for their longevity and quality. Independent testing has shown that a well-produced giclée print can last up to 200 years before any noticeable fading occurs. These prints are built to last, making them a smart investment for collectors and ensuring your work stands the test of time.
Because of their exceptional quality, giclée prints typically command higher prices than standard digital prints. And when you’re offering a product that looks and feels like fine art, buyers are willing to pay for that difference. So, if you’re trying to build an art business, giclée prints are a fantastic way to increase the accessibility and value of your work.
