I'm interested in buying several reproductions of pieces I particularly like, but figuring out my options online has been difficult. I'm mostly worried about shelling out good money for something that doesn't match my expectations. I've done a bit of online research and have some questions. 1. Giclee prints are just ink sprayed on whatever you want, right? Can be paper or canvas or whatever? What's the difference between a normal and a premium giclee? Is that normal terminology or some weird thing art.com pitches to swindle you out of more money? 2. Do I need to get my print framed? Is it worth the money if I'm just hanging it in my house? If I get a canvas print, and it's wrapped on wood, does that need a frame? Or is it just mainly for protecting paper prints with the glass? 3. Are there any reputable hand-painted reproduction houses? Or would I be better off with a private commission with a specific artist? We tried one place already, and the quality of the finished product was garbage. I feel like the best use of money is prints, at least at our sub $1k / piece budget. 4. What's a good price point for a larger (50"x40") print? $100-300/paper, more for canvas, based on what I'm seeing online? How much should I expect to pay for framing on top of that for a similar size? Is it worth trying to diy the frame? 5. Is there a trustworthy place that people normally use for giclee prints? I've been looking at places that already have the paintings I want on file, but I have contacted the museums to see if they would provide me with higher resolution scans so I can just go to any giclee print place. Thank you!
