Fine art prints & such

Paper&print

No, these are not just posters. My prints are Fine art prints, or Giclées if you'd like to get extra fancy. Both terms are basically the same and they both refer to the printing technique. What ever you'd like to call them it's a Inkjet print. Which means that the printer sprays the ink onto the paper. In this case my prints origin from a Epson printer, which really delivers fantastic results. Giclée by the way, is an old french term meaning "to spray". Good to know.

Texture and grain size, thickness of the paper, coating, available sizes of the paper, color, age resistance... The list could go on forever. There are SO many different papers out there, and finding the perfect one for my prints was harder than I expected. However I'm very pleased with the final choice of both paper and print. Paper-wize I choosed famous paper manufacturer Hahnemühle and their paper called Museum etching. It's a thick, 350gsm, acid and lignin free paper made of 100% cotton with a matt premium coating for extra good print results. It's very age resistent, which is kind of cool.  If it's expensive? Yes it is. But it's really worth every penny.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW. PLEASE READ.

Even though the prints are of very high quality they are fragile and if not handled the right way they will get damaged. The printed surface with its ink and matt coating can catch scratches. Don't ever touch the printed surface to avoid this to happen. To quote the manufacturer "Use care in handling printed material, surface susceptible to abrasion". I know myself how to handle these prints the right way and when purchased they will leave me packed with soft foam wrapping and other packaging, taking every safety procaution possible. I know the prints are in perfect condition when leaving me. If outer packaging is damaged, please contact me immidiatly HERE. Include your order number. 

Even though it looks very nice to hang a print in paper clips, I recommend you to frame your print (with care and clean hands). If you're not careful enough or if you have to strong clips the print could get damaged.
