Canvas art prints are unique decorative options for your home. Today’s technology is highly innovative and is advancing at a high pace, and it is easy to obtain good quality, realistic art prints at economical prices. Trendy art prints are awesome and perfect for the contemporary home as well as modern workplaces. This print provides an inspiring focal point for any room in your home or office, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Modern printing technology features perfect colour reproduction capability, flexibility and cost-efficiency. So, you can have your favorite artworks and paintings digitally captured on canvas. The greatest advantage of canvas art prints over paper reproductions is that they don’t require any glass to display and are not matted. Most of the prints are not glazed. A canvas art print looks better without matt because of its vivid colour and varied texture. Canvas art prints are made by canvas transferring and by printing directly on to the canvas. Both methods are capable of producing high quality images that closely resemble the original artwork and are produced at affordable prices.

Canvas transferring is the most common method that produces a beautiful copy of the original artwork. You can have your own drawings, paintings and artwork printed on canvas. These art prints are perhaps the best technological development as far as artists are concerned, since these enable them to keep their valuable artistic creations safe against any kind of damage. Printing service providers usually maintain their own gallery of beautiful and impressive images, which can be made into attractive art prints. You can make a choice selection from these images.

Next time when you think of redecorating your house, consider having a few elegant prints to deck your walls. Besides being a wonderful decorative item, canvas art prints are ideal gifts really worth your money.

That is the Question http://www.hyperfestival.com/is-your-canvas-art-print-coated-or-not-that-is-the-question-3 http://www.hyperfestival.com/is-your-canvas-art-print-coated-or-not-that-is-the-question-3#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:45:09 +0000 admin http://www.hyperfestival.com/?p=292 You have just gone out and bought a lovely canvas art print that looks amazing and will fit in nicely with the furniture in your living room. However, you don’t even think about how long it will last because the shop you bought it from says the canvas art will last 100 years.

This may not be entirely true, and even if it is to last a 100 years the chances are it will look like a wrinkly old faded fabric hanging on your wall for your great grand kids to enjoy. If this is exactly what you wanted then clearly the answer is no, you do not need a coating on your canvas art print.

Instead, if you would like your canvas art to look as young and as colorful as the day you bought it then it would require a protective coating on the surface.

What is a canvas coating?
It is quite simply in most cases a fine film of laminate that covers the surface of the canvas to protect from dust, splashes of water and other harmful things that may come in its path over the years. It is carefully heated to join onto the canvas art print itself to make it inseparable.

How do I know if the canvas has a laminate / coating?
When and if you are in a shop and are looking at a canvas art print, it can sometimes be quite difficult to check whether it has a protective layer. The main things to do are the following:
- Ask the shop keeper / online shop about whether the canvas art print has a coating on it. Chances are if they say yes then it will have it, if they reply with ‘a what on it?’ they most probably haven’t
- Some laminates / protective coatings leave a subtle shine on the surface
- Have they advertised that their canvas art prints are protected?

If it is clear after this that the canvas has not been coated with any form of protection, then you need to handle it with care and follow these steps:
1: Ask the shop to laminate it / or coat with protective layer (make sure you take a picture before and after to check for any damage) ask about their protection process as some coatings can leave a canvas with a yellow tint over time, Google it to check the quality of the laminate they are using. If they refuse either get a refund or go next:
2: There should be professional art businesses in your area, ask them if they can point you in the direction of a laminator or canvas studio (or go to another shop that does laminate canvas art)
3: Do it yourself: Although not advised!!! And can end up damaging rather than improving the canvas art print. If your canvas art print has cost you as it has some others a small fortune, then make sure that you get it coated by a professional.

I hope this has helped some what in identifying how important it is to get your canvas art print coated. If you have it well coated, the chances are it will last almost as long as the shop keeper told you at the start.

Then giclee canvas print is the best option. These canvas prints are effective marketing tools for advertising the products or services of a company to a wider audience. Giclee (pronounced Gee’clay) is the most popular inkjet printing method used by various digital printing companies in the United Kingdom to print fine art reproductions on canvas. The name giclee has been derived from the French word ‘gicler,’ meaning ‘spray’ or ‘squirt.’ This term was originally coined in 1900 by the famous printmaker, James Duganne. Giclee printing process involves the spraying of more than four million droplets of ink per second.

Today, giclee canvas printing companies make use of the hottest technology to print high resolution images featuring everything from renaissance to modern art prints. For giclee printing, high quality, light resistant inks are utilized. Photographic images, two-dimensional artwork or computer generated artwork can be made into giclee canvas art prints. 

Using software techniques, printmakers improve the color, tone, size and resolution of the image to make the prints more visible, retaining the look of the original masterpiece. To prevent scratching of the print surface and to protect it from sunlight, printing companies make use of UV varnish. A framed giclee print retains the details of the original image for years. Ready to hang prints in limited edition are also available in the market.

Before printing, first a scan is made, which can be used to make as many prints as required in fast turnaround time – one of the advantages of giclee printing. These canvas prints are affordable and hence very popular.

Giclee canvas prints in various dimensions, styles and shapes are used to elegantly decorate your contemporary home and office. These are also some of the best gift options for all occasions.
