FAQ's Printing
What is the process for printing?
We use Epson printers and genuine Epson Ultrachrome inks for all of our prints. The inks will not fade for generations. It is rated to last 100 years. We also apply a UV inhibitor spray to seal the prints at no extra cost to you. The coating also allows for better stretching. It gives the canvas an elastic quality that allows us to stretch it around the frame and helps to prevent cracking.
What type of canvas do you use?
Our canvas is a high quality, water resistant poly-cotton blend. It has a PH neutral, acid free coating with a pure white point. This allows for greater consistence from print to print.
What type of printers and inks do you use?
We use the Epson 9800's and the new state of the art Epson 11880's that allow us to print up to 60" wide by 480" long. We also use the Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks that are rated to last 80 to 100 years.
Are your canvas prints archival?
Absolutely. Every aspect of our prints is archival from the canvas and gesso to the ink and UV coating.
Do you consider your process giclee?
Yes, our process is giclee. Giclee is the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing.
