FAQ

FineArt printing, also known as Giclee printing, is a type of printing preferred by photographers, illustrators and artists. FineArt printing targets maximum life span, quality and colour. Large format inkjet reproduction machines provide museum-quality results using archive-quality inks and acid-free papers.

The reproduction machines used for FineArt printing have a much wider color range than standard printers. These machines use 8-12 color pigment systems to create millions of different colors. For this reason, FineArt prints are much more accurate than a standard print and remain faithful to the original work of art.

"Archival" means that the prints are long-lasting and will not deteriorate during our lifetime. Most of our papers have been tested to last 100 years if properly framed and up to 400 years in museum storage conditions, with no visible fading or compromise in quality. 

All of our prints, whether on paper or canvas, are archival. All the materials we use are state-of-the-art archival quality. This applies to papers, canvas, packaging materials and most importantly inks. 

When entering the product page, the lowest priced paper and the smallest size are selected by default. Also, the copyright of the artist is automatically reflected in the price.

First, you need to decide which paper to choose. To decide which paper you choose, you can access detailed information and images about the paper by clicking the information button. You can examine the information about the paper and the sample detail image and choose the paper you want. 

In the next step, you need to decide what size you want the artwork print to be. From the options we offer, you can choose the size option that best suits you or the area where you will display the artwork.

The border refers to the area that surrounds the texture of the paper where the image is printed. It's the space that's not occupied by the image itself.

When determining the size preferences of the works on our site, we determine the measurement range in which the image will not be distorted in printing. After determining the maximum and minimum print size, we present the size preferences in this range.

You can choose vivid colors on a smooth paper in the work you will receive, or you can choose a textured paper to add a third dimension to the work.

For various reasons, we do not scan framed works. Therefore, if you wish to have a framed work scanned, it will need to be removed from the frame before scanning. We ask that the works to be scanned be delivered to us with the frames removed. We do not take responsibility for the removal of the framed work. If the artwork or frame is particularly old and/or valuable, we recommend that it be taken to an experienced framer for removal.

For unglazed and unframed canvases, the artwork does not need to be removed from the frame. As long as the surface of the artwork is flush with the frame, we can scan it without any problems.

We work by appointment only. To give your project the attention it deserves, we can arrange a meeting or call to discuss the steps to produce your project. We also work virtually for out-of-town and international clients.

Afterwards, you can get in touch with us to request your own artwork as a FineArt print. We will carefully prepare and deliver your desired print size to you.
