Choosing the right paper is a crucial step for the quality of your FineArt print.<\/p>\n

A fundamental question is whether a matt or glossy print is preferred. Of course, the type of motif or the subsequent circumstances where the image will be displayed also play a major role.<\/p>\nGlossy papers are characterized by maximum colour saturation and outstanding reproduction of black and grey tones.<\/p>\n

They are particularly suitable for black and white motifs or motifs with strong contrasts. However, really good papers have also been added in the matt range in recent years. The Baryta Photographique II Matt 310 g\/m\u00b2 from Canson should be mentioned here.<\/p\n\n\n

Matt papers, on the other hand, emphasize motifs with their softer surface and are ideal for prints where the details should be emphasized by the subtle texture of the paper.<\/p>\n

The decision between gloss and matt should also be made with reflections in mind. High-gloss surfaces tend to reflect light, including, of course, opposite windows or other normal lighting (gallery lighting correctly installed and aligned excepted). Matte papers absorb the light and therefore appear somewhat less “strong”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]\n

Our papers vary not only in their surface texture, but also in their shade of white – from “bright white” to “white” to “natural white”. However, it should be noted that whiter papers may contain optical brighteners, which lose their stability over time and cause the image to lose its luminosity.<\/p>\n

The choice of paper surface texture, which ranges from smooth to highly textured, not only influences the visual effect, but also the feel of the end product. Texture is only found on matt papers, although there are of course some smoother ones available.<\/pIt is advisable to carefully consider all these factors when selecting paper in order to achieve the perfect FineArt print.<\/p>\n

Our personal experience: Portraits, B&W images, architecture work well on glossy or semi-glossy papers. Nature motifs, reproductions of paintings, graphics have a great effect on matt papers.<\/p>\n

\n \n \n \n <\/svg>\n Sensitivity of matte prints <\/div>\n
\n

Matt papers are extremely sensitive to scratches and fingerprints. A white edge is recommended for better handling of these papers. Cutting to picture size can lead to damage (e.g. chipped colors on the cut edges). Gloves should always be worn. Glossy papers are somewhat less sensitive, but should be handled with the same care.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
\n \n \n \n <\/svg>\n Dark prints <\/div>\n
\n

In the case of large dark areas on matt papers, damage is possible simply due to rolling and movement during transportation. Such prints should be pick up at our location.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Your pictures are usually printed on rolls larger than 30 cm x 45 cm, so slight curling of the prints is normal and not a defect. We unroll the pictures for flat shipping. However, this is not possible with all types of paper, as \u201ccounter-rolling\u201d can also cause damage. For example, Torchon paper or William Turner paper must not be counter-rolled. In this case, we recommend storing the paper flat, with weights if necessary, before framing. Fluctuations in humidity, temperature, etc. can cause warping or curling to reoccur.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Most of the papers offered here are natural papers, made from fibers of natural products such as cotton, hemp and others. During the production of the paper, the fibers are separated from other components. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to remove them completely, which means that they can remain in the paper as inclusions. These inclusions vary in size and color, depending on the natural products used in the paper. This can occur occasionally. Often these inclusions only become visible after the printing process (printing from a roll) or on closer inspection. This is typical for natural products and cannot be avoided. The presence of such inclusions on a FineArt print does not constitute a defect. Requested reprints will be invoiced again. However, we always endeavor to avoid this!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”df-area” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
