FAQ PRINTS

The artist carefully selects the paper to achieve the optimal outcome in terms of visual appeal, quality, and longevity, ensuring high standards for image quality and preservation. Both the Fuji Crystal Archive C Type and Hahnemühle Giclée paper meet archival quality standards and are excellent choices for achieving the desired results.

1. C-type digital photo printing

C-type digital photo printing involves a computer-controlled process where lasers or LEDs are used to expose the paper, replacing the traditional bulb. The subsequent steps of the process remain largely unchanged: the paper is developed in a photographic developer, followed by bleach fix and a thorough wash to remove processing chemicals. When properly framed and maintained, C-type prints can maintain their quality for over 100 years.

2. Giclée

Giclée prints are known for their archival qualities. Giclée printers utilize high-quality, fade-resistant, and archival pigment-based inks. When these inks are applied to top-notch archival substrates such as the acid-free Rag papers from Hahnemühle, which we use at theprintspace, the result is an unparalleled archival lifespan of over 100 years.
