Decorating your home with canvas is a modern and attractive way to showcasing your pictures and art, and Canvas Giclee Printing offers beautiful and professional canvases that are museum quality and still the lowest prices online.
I like to play a game where I guess the year or the era from pictures or movies based on clues like clothes, colors, or decor. I can usually get pretty close to the actual year, and if you’ve also ever tuned in to home improvement shows and seen how the moderns are decorating these days, you can probably pinpoint what it is that makes a room look dated or current. A lot of it has to do with the wall decor! These days, we’re ditching clunky frames and we’re making things sleek, clean, large-scale and simple with canvas wall decor, but don’t trust your fine art with just any canvas printing company. I had a year-in-the-making project that I needed displayed magnificently and I wasn’t going to hand it over to just anyone. I did my research and found Canvas Giclee Printing and knew my project would be in good hands. At no cost to facilitate this review, I was able to work with them on getting an image of mine printed on canvas, stretched, and mounted, and I’m so pleased to say that it turned out beautifully!
I had the privilege of talking with the owner of Canvas Giglee Printing, Joshua McClure, who is a professional fine art photographer with 30 years of experience in photography and print reproduction. He also manages Fine Art Gallery on Canvas, where artists submit their work to an online gallery and sell to the public. Clearly, he knows the business of artists and photographers and how to beautifully showcase their work.
My canvas arrived perfectly protected in plastic, with the corners wrapped and securely taped. I first noticed its HEAVY frame, and that’s exactly what you want to have: real wood, sturdy hardware, and a thick canvas material.
The canvases of Canvas Giclee Printing are of superior craftsmanship and museum quality. They use state-of-the-art printing equipment and superior raw materials that will remain sound and vibrant up to 100 years. Giclée, by the way, is the term for fine art prints made on inkjet printers and is often used by artists and galleries.
Another problem I was running into as I was shopping around for the right printing company was that most sites only offered standard sizes. I felt limited to 11×14, 16×20, and so forth, but I needed to print this in 18×39. The dimensions were not standard, but I was instantly assured that this wouldn’t be a problem in the least for Canvas Giclee Printing.
Aren’t these edges clean and crisp? Another thing I wanted was solid-color wrapped edges. I didn’t want the images to be wrapped onto the sides and miss seeing the collective collage on the front. The easy online ordering that Canvas Giclee Printing offers made it simple to indicate exactly what I wanted, with plenty of further editing options available. Automatic retouching is made on every job so things like red eye, dust removal, scratches and imperfections won’t be a problem — remember, you’re working with art professionals here and they know how a photograph will look its best — but you can also specify for custom retouching for things like teeth whitening, facial blemishes, removing unwanted objects, and even adding/removing people from group shots!
You’re also going to see completely affordable pricing. I had done a LOT of research on what I could expect to pay for a canvas this size from other online printing companies, and it was easily totaling over $300 on most sites, but only $117 at Canvas Giglee Printing.
Hey, would you like to see behind the scenes?! This video is actually pretty fascinating, and it shows how Canvas Giglee Printing does their magic:
I had intended on giving this to my daughter to enjoy, but now that I’ve seen it large and professionally printed, I don’t think I’m actually going to give it up. Ever.
I’m so happy with the way it turned out and would recommend Canvas Giclee Printing in a heartbeat to anyone who wants their pictures or art preserved and displayed!
