Printing Process & Materials
Your artwork is printed on high-quality satin paper: a super white, smooth paper and has the look and feel of a traditional silver halide photo paper.
The paper is specifically designed for high-quality professional output with an increased colour gamut, deeper black density and improved scuff resistance. The print is more resistant to fading and yellowing and has strong archival characteristics.
The satin stock is 100% virgin fibre, sourced from sustainable forests. It was awarded the Nordic Swan Award - the most demanding ecological mark in international paper.
My printing supplier has an ICC (International Colour Consortium) colour managed system. This ensures your images are consistent in colour, density, contrast, saturation and sharpness. The R.I.P (Raster Interface Protocol) they use is a world leader in digital print controllers for wide-format printers. They use a twelve colour digital printing process with archival pigment-based inks. Coupled with the very best photographic and fine art papers they achieve a large printable colour gamut with amazing saturation and tonal reproduction.
Every image is treated individually and checked several times during the processing to ensure you receive a flawless print.
Canvas
Your image is printed on fine art canvas: a finely woven blend of cotton and polyflax which displays a subtle texture and fewer artifacts for a true artistic look and feel. This bright white canvas embraces new technology to maximize the longevity of a print while maintaining a bright white surface. It offers a high-resolution coating for increased colour brilliance and image definition.
Each canvas is machine stretched to give consistent tension across the artwork. The frames are kiln dried, finger jointed timber without wedges, meaning tightening or loosening it later is completely unnecessary. The assembly is completed with framers tape and is strung ready to hang.
This is an archival canvas solution with quality image reproduction that invites attention.
