What are "Fine Art Prints" and how do they differ from originals and poster?

When most people think of prints, the first image that comes to mind is a poster with a gloss finish that looks like a photograph of the original. While these were great for decorating the sterile environment of a dormitory room, they lack a certain appeal for the more discerning eye. Since not all art work is readily available or affordable, the solution is choosing a fine art print.

The process begins with a high resolution scan of the original at 360 dpi or higher to ensure accurate color and sharp, detailed results, capturing brush strokes and all the nuances of the original. State-of-the-art printers produce images with impeccable clarity and continuous tone blends. Advanced archival ultra chrome inks provide rich blacks and vibrant colors that will last a lifetime.

All images are printed on acid-free Hahnemuhle German etching paper which has a subtle texture and soft white tone and is a heavier paper, giving the final print a substantial feel. Another choice of papers is Hahnemuhle Bamboo which is made from the renewable fibers of bamboo. This paper has a smoother texture and a natural off-white color. Both papers capture the ink to perfection. Drying time is allowed, after which each print is coated with Premiere Art Print Shield for added protection and enhanced lifespan.

The end result is a print which is almost indistinguishable from the original and a piece you will be proud to own and display.
