Proper Maintenance for the Giclee Print

Published by nikimedia under Uncategorized

Art is a passion to many people, to the extent that they even invest enormous sums of money in original artworks. If you’re among those who enjoy a beautiful piece and would like to have it in your home but the price tag is not within your budget limit, purchasing art prints is the perfect solution. High quality canvas prints are valuable investments and will represent a beautiful addition to any home. You can select an art print to match existing home decorations or a number of prints to bring unity in the style of your home. At riteart.com you can select a beautiful art print from our many styles, framed or unframed.

The so-called giclee prints are among the most popular and good looking art prints that a person could own. These prints are made by using a state-of-the-art ink-jet printing technique. The result of the printing process is very similar to a canvas painted by an artist. The print’s unique aspect is the result of tiny spurts of ink that are mixed and combined on the surface of the print. The ink pattern is constantly under control to ensure that the details are completed to perfection. With this technique, the print isn’t limited to a certain palette of colors or combination of paint – the possibilities are practically endless and the result is a fantastic looking print with astonishing shades and colors.

If you’ve already purchased one or several art prints, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First of all, framing your print is a very important part of making sure it is being exploited to its full potential. It is highly recommended that you have your print professionally framed. The canvas is usually pretty fragile so framing the print in an unprofessional way can lead to seriously damaging it. The same recommendation goes for any cleaning and repair work – let professionals handle it if you don’t want to have any unpleasant surprises. Also, using glass for the framing is a very good idea, as it helps protect the print from any harmful factors.

Taking good care of your art prints is very important, especially if you want to sell them after a while. The value of a quality print will increase over time, especially if it is maintained properly. The giclee prints are heat sensitive and need to be kept at temperatures of around 60 degrees all year round if you want to prevent ink degradation. Intense sunlight can also have damaging effects on these prints so it is best to place them in areas where the sun exposure is low. Needless to say, placing a print in the bathroom might lead to it deteriorating.

High quality art prints are excellent decorative items in any home and a real treat for those who enjoy art. Giclee prints have beautiful posture and highly resemble the texture of hand-made paintings. Whenever purchasing a fine art print you should not neglect the framing aspect and always provide proper maintenance. Riteart.com offers a wide variety of prints and professional framing services.

A beautiful giclee print will bring elegance and sophistication to any home. Just remember to turn to professional framing and maintenance services in order to avoid any possible damage to the prints. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information on purchasing high quality art prints.

    ‘Death Bear’ devours pains from the past
    NEW YORK — A biting wind whipped down a dark street, where a man crouched in the shadow of a building. He pulled on black gloves and glanced up and down the avenue. Satisfied that no one was watching, he grabbed a mask the size of a beach ball out of a bag, pulled it onto his head and wriggled it into place: snout in front, eye holes over his own, rounded ears pointed skyward. Death Bear was …
