Frequently Asked Questions

Photo canvas prints are printed by an large area ink-jet printer putting it’s ink onto a canvas surface. Typically the canvas used in normal canvas printing is a poly-cotton blend of fibres that offer a 10-20 year archival rating when cared for properly. The inks used are of good quality, but can be susceptible to fading, bleeding and discoloration over it’s expected time. Please note that we seal all canvas prints with a protective spray to protect the work from UV rays which will extend the normal lifespan of the print. See photo of sample prints for color vibrance and detail. 

In contrast Giclee Prints are produced using the very best technology, materials and practices. The canvas is often either 100% cotton, or a completely synthetic fibre. The dyes used by the printer are sprayed in a very fine mist giving complete saturation, detail and the absolute best in color reproduction. The estimated life span of giclees far exceeds that of other methods of fine art printing. Tests indicate longevity of over one hundred and thirty years with no visible fade. For this reason, giclees tend to be considerably more expensive.

This site is my own and my art is sold directly.  https://karin-best.pixels.com/ is handled by a 3rd party that takes a percentage which is added to the cost.  I sell from both sites as here i am able to offer lower prices to my customers but pixels is able to handle orders for much larger sized canvas prints and merchandise.
