New ways of printing are available today that have brought about immense changes. The art world is one area that has been affected by the ability to make copies of original artworks that are hard to distinguish from the originals. Finding giclee prints for sale is not difficult today with many of them being sold from online stores. These copies retain the hues and tones of the originals and are sold for far less. This means that the works of important artists are far more widely available than ever before.
The type of printer used for this process is much like an ordinary desktop inkjet printer but far bigger and, of course, much more costly. The original image is scanned and at this stage it may be scaled down or up in size. The image is then printed out onto matt photo paper, watercolor paper, canvas or other suitable substrates.
Special inks are used in this process that are pigment based and not as subject to fading. The print quality is excellent and the colors retain their quality for years. Watercolors are reproduced particularly well on watercolor paper as the ink sinks into the paper easily. Canvas is also often chosen as a substrate due to its durability and the fact that it does not crease when rolled up.
An increasing number of artists are familiarizing themselves with digital art. This may consist of reproducing their original works but others are also experimenting with entirely digitally produced artworks which are then printed or images which are a combination of both. With the advent of so many digital types of art, it is extremely important for a buyer to know exactly what he or she is buying.
A digital copy should never be classified as an original. Artists often choose to print a limited number of copies and to label them accordingly. These copies can be sold more cheaply, making them available to a wider audience.
There are ways artists have found to make limited editions more valuable. They can do so by numbering them, signing them or even adding brush strokes to personalize them. The more personalized the copy, the more they can charge.
Any dishonesty with regard to the number of copies produced can seriously affect the reputation of a seller. A buyer does not want to spend money on a personalized, limited edition print and then find many more in circulation than stated. The confidence of the buyer in the artist will be destroyed as a result of this.
Buying a print does not mean that one is settling for inferior quality. It may not be the original but many copies are hardly distinguishable so one can still admire their beauty on the wall. The colors of the print are usually very vivid and artists are often very involved in the whole process to ensure that the quality is as good as possible. Artists may even possess their own equipment so they have total control over final quality of a print.
