PREMIUM QUALITY SERVICE – OUR PRINTS WOULD TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY with their perfect colours, quality papers and overall impact.

This listing is for a premium quality physical print (not framed). If a print cost less – they are not using the same paper, ink and packaging quality. There is a big difference between a 180 GSM photo paper and 290 GSM paper. There is a big difference between Hahnemuhle paper (the highest standards in art printing) and other manufacturers. There is also a big difference between giclee printing and usual mass printers.

PAPER QUALITY – FINEST SUSTAINABLE ART PAPER

·        Hand-picked highest quality thick heavyweight archival paper Bamboo Hahnemuhle 290 GSM, which is guaranteed not to fade for life and to hold your artwork firmly within the frame (do not warp).

·        The paper is off-white, slightly textured, matte. Made from a 90% bamboo and 10% cotton fibre mix, Hahnemuhle Bamboo has a gently, highly subtle texture, a soft felt-like feel and a warm natural white/ivory base to give artwork natural soul and expression;

·        LIFE TIME GUARANTEE not to FADE & WARP;

·        Bamboo is acid and lignin free meaning it meets exceptional archival standards as well as being highly sustainable and environmentally friendly. 

PRINTING QUALITY - HIGHEST FINE ART GICLEE PRINTING (not mass printing)

·        Giclee printing gives more vibrant colours and better longevity using the latest technology – colour-perfect printing;

·        The biggest difference between a standard inkjet print and a giclee print is that giclees are printed using pigment-based inks rather than dye-based inks that are found in lower-cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer lifespan: they can last anywhere from 100 - 200 years without significant fading;

·        We use 8-colour HP fine art printers;

·        We use genuine original HP archival pigment inks for accurate colours, details and longevity;

·        Different printing papers are given their own unique profile for printing to ensure the best results, manually adjusted every time;

·        Our fine art prints are based on a “Fine Art” setting which prints using an 8-pass at an astonishing 1200x2400dpi resolution setting for maximum quality and details.

PACKAGING QUALITY

Print sizes A5&A4 arrive flat in a cardboard backed envelope. We found that the usual cardboard backed envelope is not strong enough with corners prone to bending. We package prints in a bigger sized envelopes so that print edges are well within the reinforced area. Our cardboard envelopes are additionally reinforced with plastic boards to keep the artwork in a mint condition.

A3 and A2 prints arrive in postal tubes with bigger diameter than industry standards of 50mm. In those postal tubes prints would have to be tightly squeezed to the extent of breaking some fibres in thick art paper (Or, if they are rolled easy and without force it means that the paper is not thick enough in the first place). It may take a week or so for those prints to unfold and be more or less flat and ready for handing.

Our prints would “sit” comfortably well within the tube additionally rolled in a protective paper inside the tube.

We also like to post A3 prints flat in a bigger box whenever possible.
