Giclée: Art Reproductions on canvas or paper

Giclée fine art reproductions are digitized images scanned from the original paintings and printed by piezo printhead ("squirted ink") technology that can print directly onto high-quality cotton canvas, photobase paper or watercolor paper. Utilizing solvent-based inks (rather than dyes) in an ultra high-resolution ink jet printing process, giclée reproductions are a modern marvel, the closest possible duplication of original paintings ever achieved. An economical way to reproduce original art;  drawings, oil paintings, watercolors, etc. Produce one to 1000. Up to 56" x 50'.

Long Lasting Colorful Canvas Prints

Canvas prints provided by  Sausalito Signs utilize specially treated 22 mil canvas stock that is acid free and made to last into the next generation. A gloss sheen is applied to the canvas to give a print that "finished" look. Artwork and photos are reproduced at 1400 dpi with six color splendor for photo-realistic exhibit-quality images.

The inks are UV solvent  based therefore they have longer lasting span and are more resistant to the sun. With proper care and elimination of direct sun light, your print has the potential to last a lifetime.

Stretching and mounting is a great option due to increased durability and artistic appeal. Artwork or photos can then be displayed on a wall without the necessity of a frame. In cases of reproductions of paintings, works of art can be mistaken for an original at first glance.

On Paper
Depending up the type of original and the desired reproduction look, you can choose either photobase paper (similar to glossy or matte photographic paper, or the softer and more absorbent watercolor paper or museum quality archival paper. Generally, if your original is a photograph or contains sharply defined or complex images, photobase peper is best. For watercolors or softer impressions, use watercolor or archival paper.
