The Advantages of Giclee prints as photos on canvas

Loosely translated from French, the word giclee means a spray or a spurt of liquid. These prints may connote such the elevation in print making technology and canvas pictures produced this way can be seen generated from smart resolution digital scans of a still photo or directly from a digital photo and printed as well with highest quality inks onto different mediums or substances. The most common of these mediums, and what we will concentrate on here, is canvas, but the others are photo-based and fine art paper. These prints are created typically using professional 8-color to 12-color ink-jet printers today, but the process started a long while ago in 1989 and various methods have been used on and off since then. One of the major advantages of making canvas prints over photos using this method is that this process produces better accuracy colors than any other tool of reproduction and so they are of very high quality.

Printing technology has come a long way recently companies such has HP and Epson have greatly improved their product offerings and reduced prices in the face of increased competition.  The individual nature of canvas art prints as photos on canvas means that they are nearly always individual pieces of work as they are produced on demand, more copies can easily be produced by the printer and for those interested in selling these canvas pictures for a profit, you can test market your art before committing to large production runs using this method.

With this method, you do not need a set for color separation, which was very time consuming in other methods. Giclee canvas prints also allow you to adjust color, contrast, brightness and color saturation and this ensures that the final product is as good as the original image if not better. You get the option of editing off such things as shadows, blemishes and bad lighting from the original photo and so the final product may actually end up being better than the original.

An important advantage of this method is the time taken to do the work. Since only printing is done, the time from submission of photo to delivery at home can be as little as three working days. Another advantage is that this art form is starting to attract art investors and who knows – maybe your work will be a collector's item one day.

What is the best medium for decorating canvas shoes?

I've recently discovered the awesome of decorating blank canvas shoes, and I want to try it out for myself. However, I don't know what to use on them for the best color and quality. I've heard people say that acrylic paint is the best to use on these shoes, but I also heard that fabric markers or fabric paints work best.

I want the shoes to have bright, bold colors when they're finished, so what would work best? Acrylic or fabric markers and paint? And how should I seal them to keep the designs from fading or bleeding?

You could do just about anything and then brush on some clear polyurethane when finished. I would just use paint markers though.
