All the one's I've seen in person have not impressed me. I don't like how the texture of the canvas changes the image. I saw a canvas Biskup giclee and the same print on paper next to each other. The one on paper looked better to me.

The canvas had the texture issue for me, but also some kind of gloss coat that made the texture even more apparent and caused too much glare.

All the Ryden's I've seen pictures of looked pretty solid. I'm sold just by the fact that I wouldn't have to frame it necessarily just to display it.
