Your Fine Art Print or Canvas will be printed specifically to order, according to the size you have requested and the dimensions of the original painting.
We use the very latest wide-format digital printing systems to ensure the highest quality artworks. Our printers use six colour ink sets to enable us to get the closest possible colour reproduction. Using ‘Piezo’ nozzles capable of printing at 1440 dpi helps render even the finest details. This premium print definition is only possible because we use the finest quality Aqueous Pigment inks. These inks are highly developed, designed and made exclusively for us. Despite being water based, when dry over 90% of the pigment will become embedded in the fabric of the paper or canvas, forming a permanent structure. The result is that unlike many ink systems, the colour light fastness easily exceeds six on the Blue Wool Test scale and tests indicate that the longevity of the ink is in the region of eighty years or more.
Paper Stock
We will print your Fine Art print onto a very high quality Alpha Cellulose, acid free, mould made, 230 gsm textured artist paper. Our supplier has developed this paper to exacting methods using a small, traditional British mill. The quality of this paper, when combined with our inks, ensures our finished prints are highly durable and reproduce the tones and colours of the original painting as faithfully as possible.
Mounts
Our mounts are made from chemically treated pulp using high pH sizing that is free from lignin. The thickness of your mount is 1400 microns and the aperture is cut with a clean bevelled edge. All our mount boards are made from sustainable wood sources.
Glazing
All of our pictures are glazed using high quality acrylic plexiglass. Although considerably more expensive than glass, this Perspex material provides outstanding optical clarity whilst also being durable, lightweight and impact resistant.
Canvas
Our Canvases have been specially designed and developed for Fine Art digital printing. We have chosen a very fine mesh synthetic material that is ideally suited to the detail required for this type of print. The material is much more stable than a natural fibre, and much finer. Our canvas products are now being used by many major museums for their premium reproductions on canvas.
Hanging
Our framed prints come with a 2.5mm backing board attached into the frame rebate. All our framed prints are delivered fully strung for immediate hanging.
Our canvases are designed to be hung using the wooden top frame edge.
