What is the difference between a Lithograph and a Giclee? | Colson Art Printing

The one on the left is a canvas giclee.

It may not always be obvious how something is printed. Sometimes it takes viewing the piece through a magnifier to see how the ink was applied to the paper. Lithographic printing will have definitive patterns where a giclee patterns are arbitrary.

Thanks for the explanation. Which of the paintings behind you is giclee?

I can't find any side-by-side comparisons online of a regular art poster and giclee.

Thank you for the positive comment. Any suggestions for future informative vieos would certainly be welcome.

Great informational video! Def something I may use in the high school and college classroom when we discuss process color printing.
