Learning to understand and love fine art can take a lifetime. Many turn to collecting so that they can enjoy filling their home with images they enjoy. Buying original works directly from the artist can be extremely expensive. This often prices items out of the average budget. So alternative printed images fill the demand for many collectors.

The original pieces are sent to a printer to make copies on canvas or other fine paper. The process of making giclee prints for sale was created using ink jet printers. The name is used by art dealers, studios, and salespeople to let buyers know that the printing process has produced a very high quality image using technologically advanced equipment.

The advantage for both the creator and the buyer is that these excellent quality prints allow additional sales to be made. Many people simply cannot afford to purchase an original, but they do have the budget to afford a very nice alternative. Some enjoy buying smaller versions because their homes cannot accommodate a large canvas. It is also very popular to collect note cards made with favorite images.

Jack Duganne, a printmaker, is noted as creating the name for this process. He wanted to find a name for beautiful surfaces that had the look of actual paints. He used French terms for his newly coined word. They were the words for nozzle and spray, which are mindful of the original ink jet methods for spraying inks onto surfaces.

One contrary opinion states that these reproductions many only be worth the value of the frame that holds them. But may new style collectors ignore this attitude in favor of buying what they like regardless. For them, enjoying beauty does not require that they own a very pricey original piece.

It is truly a matter of preference concerning what is worth collecting or not. Museums internationally offer splendid gift shop items that are made using the giclee process. They will offer a myriad of souvenirs based on their own collections and current exhibits. The smaller items are highly popular with visitors because they are easy to pack into a suitcase and bring home as gifts.

Most visitors happily explore the gift shops looking for their favorite exhibited pieces. Tiny notepads, greeting cards, daily journals, diaries, miniatures and many other paper good fill the shelves waiting for people to buy them and take them home. The reasonable prices allow travelers to bring home extra gifts for friends and family at home. The themes on display often are related to current exhibits or the regular collections held there.

Another distinct advantage to buying smaller sizes is that the frames to hold your treasured selections will be less expensive. It is possible to fill a wall at home with images that are designed to last a long time, not fade easily over many years and be made using canvas or top quality watercolor paper. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring wonderful creative works into your life for a lifetime of enjoyment.
