What is a Fine Art Print?

A fine art print featuring a prairie scene called Spring Breeze. It is surrounded by small cactus plants.

A fine art print is a high-quality reproduction of an original artwork, created using advanced printing techniques and premium materials to ensure longevity and visual fidelity. These prints are often referred to as archival pigment prints or giclée prints.

Key Characteristics of Fine Art Prints:

  • High-Quality Inks: Fine art prints utilize pigment-based inks, which offer superior colour accuracy and resistance to fading compared to dye-based inks used in standard prints.
  • Archival Canvas: My fine art prints are printed on an acid-free heavyweight cotton-poly blend. This elegantly textured canvas features a matte non-reflective surface and is enhanced with elastic polymers to provide strength and flexibility to allow for gallery wrap stretching without cracking. 
  • Advanced Printing Technology: These prints are produced using high-resolution large format printers, which can capture the finest details of the original artwork. The texture and depth captured make prints nearly indistinguishable from original art.
  • Longevity: Due to the combination of archival inks and paper, fine art prints can last over a hundred years without significant degradation.

Benefits of Fine Art Prints:

  • Superior Detail and Colour: The use of pigment-based inks and high-resolution printing technology ensures that fine art prints capture the depth, detail, and rich colours of the original artwork.
  • Museum and Gallery Quality: These prints are often chosen by museums and galleries for their exhibitions due to their durability and visual quality.

Why Choose Fine Art Prints?

Fine art prints are ideal for collectors, art enthusiasts, and anyone looking to invest in high-quality reproductions of artwork. They offer a way to own a piece of art that closely resembles the original, both in appearance and in longevity.

By opting for fine art prints, you ensure that your artwork remains a cherished piece in your home, maintaining its beauty and integrity over time.
