Fine art prints are a new way of reproducing paintings, drawings, illustrations, art drawings and photographs in a very accurate way that has become widespread among artists who want to propose their art.
The word giclée is French and literally means spray, sketch. For giclée printing the word is linked to the printer used, inkjet, in fact. Since the inkjet printers used have seven to eleven nozzles, the tonal passages can be very accurate and above all continuous; and the reproduced images can have all the shades and shades of the original.
The term giclée also denotes a kind of elevation in printing technology: images are generated by high-resolution scans and printed with quality inks suitable for archiving on various media, including canvases, fine art papers and photographic papers.
The giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means for reproducing prints and photographs. The quality suitable for storage ensures that the prints are resistant to light.
The fine art printing process: giclée stames are typically created using professional inkjet printers with more than seven nozzles capable of reproducing incredibly detailed prints, both for the fine art and photographic market.
The advantages of fine art are specifically aimed at artists who do not want to reproduce their works massively, as with the four-color process in a typography and who prefer a single or a few copies of their work required if necessary.
Once the image is digitally stored, further reproductions can be obtained quickly and accurately, eliminating the start-up costs of typographic printing.
The archived files, of course, do not spoil as it happens for 3 films and negatives and the prints can be obtained in various sizes and on various supports, thus providing the artist with the opportunity to express himself by working with numerous means acting on different tools.
Fine art printing might actually look like this to be a simple inkjet print. In reality, fine art printing differs from inkjet printing for some technical parameters. The type of printer, the types of inks and the countless possibilities of rasterizing and calculating the color applied on paper or canvas are certainly one of them; and the print is undoubtedly affected by these three elements in addition to the type of support (paper or canvas) used: the same image can be different if printed for example on a matte or baryta paper and again even if printed on two different opaque papers or two barytates.
With the same input (scanning or digital photography), part of the work is performed by the plants and, without a doubt, as mentioned, different plants produce different results; but a part is certainly linked to those who print who, in addition to set up the systems, provide advice to the artist in general terms and, in Love Gamut, also in the creative phase, helping customers to find the right combination of colors, depth, papers and precision that they wish to obtain.
