The photocopies never look like original and the process has its own limitations, as far as enlargement, printing surface, resolution is concerned. The multicolor screen printing is very cumbersome. The latest advancement in canvas printing is giclee printing. The canvas photos made with giclee printing process are exact and cent per cent replica of original because the process is controlled by computer and printing is done on any surface of choice with help of multistage , multicolor, high resolution , super sensitive ink jet cartridges. In the process, the computer eye views, scans and analyses the original and stores it in its brains in digital form. This digital picture is then printed on canvas with help of above-mentioned inkjet cartridges. It is possible to edit the printing at any stage in order to get perfect results so that the printed picture is perfect match of original, in all aspects.

Putting photographs on canvas, both as low-cost gifts (such as putting a photograph on a pillow for a relative) and as high-end art prints, are becoming very popular. A giclee print is another word that can be used to refer to these prints (though they are not necessarily done on canvas, most prints done on canvas are giclee prints), which refers to the printing process used. There are two processes that can be used for photo canvas, one of which is less expensive but provides a lower-quality product.

The less expensive process involves coating canvas in PVC and printing in that surface; while this is less expensive and thus a more popular choice, it has the drawback that the inked surface can crack—it is, after all, plastic. The more expensive process, which involves unprocessed canvas, uses special ink instead of a special printing surface. The water-based, heat-cured ink is so durable that it is actually already used in the clothing industry for hard-wearing products like shoes, and it’s better for the environment than printing on PVC. The only tradeoff is that it is a slightly more expensive method, but well worth the extra money for a more durable, higher quality product.
