Printables vs Prints....which one should I purchase?
Below I have outlined a comparison between Giclee prints, the print method that my professional printers use, and compared it against the standard print method used by most major chain stores.
For this example I have used Officeworks Australia, but the figures are similar across the board.
Gina Jones Creations |
Officeworks Australia |
Giclee printing method. This is the finest grade of printing for artwork that uses 12 pigment based inks |
Uses standard inkjet printing methods. This printing method uses 4 dye based inks. |
Prints retain tonality and hue, and a more accurate replication of the original painting is given. |
Colour matching is approximate. |
Printed on archival quality paper, it will not discolour or fade over time. |
Will eventually yellow and fade |
