Are you finding it hard to choose what to print your art or photography on?
When it comes to printing your photos or artwork, there are many different options available. Two popular choices are Chromaluxe metal prints and Giclee prints. While they may seem similar at first glance, they have some key differences that make them suitable for different applications.
Chromaluxe metal prints are created by printing a high resolution image onto a sheet of metal using a special dye-sublimation process. The image is infused into the metal surface, resulting in a vibrant, durable, and long-lasting print. Chromaluxe metal prints are often used for photographic prints, as they offer excellent colour accuracy and detail. They are also resistant to fading and water damage, making them a good choice for outdoor displays.
Giclee prints, on the other hand, are created using an inkjet printing process. Giclee prints are known for their high quality and fine art appearance, making them a popular choice for reproducing artwork and fine art prints. They are made using pigment-based inks, which are more resistant to fading and colour shifts than dye-based inks. Giclee prints can be printed on a variety of media, including canvas, fine art papers, and even fabric.
One key difference between Chromaluxe metal prints and Giclee prints is the way they are displayed. Chromaluxe metal prints are typically mounted on a backing board or mounted directly to a wall using metal brackets. Giclee prints, on the other hand, are usually framed or mounted on a backing board, as the ink can be prone to smudging or smearing if it comes into direct contact with a surface.
Another difference between the two types of prints is their durability. Chromaluxe metal prints are known for their long-lasting quality, as the image is infused into the metal surface and is resistant to fading and water damage. Giclee prints, while also known for their longevity, may not be as durable as Chromaluxe metal prints and may require more careful handling to maintain their quality.
In terms of cost, Chromaluxe metal prints tend to be more expensive than Giclee prints, due in part to the more complex printing process and the higher quality materials used. Giclee prints are more affordable, but may not offer the same level of colour accuracy and detail as Chromaluxe metal prints.
Ultimately, the choice between Chromaluxe metal prints and Giclee prints will depend on your specific needs and budget. Chromaluxe metal prints are a great choice for photographers looking for high quality, vibrant prints that can withstand the elements, while Giclee prints are a good choice for artists and fine art collectors looking for a more traditional, fine art appearance.
