What Is Fine Art Printing?

-

Fine art printing, commonly known as giclée printing, is a printing technique that improves the image clarity of pictures, drawings, designs, collages, and other graphic representations. A giclée or fine art print is created using carefully formulated inks and an ink jet printer on cotton or natural fibre paper (such as rice paper or bamboo). Fine art or giclée printers employ various colours such as light cyan, light magenta, three varieties of grey, and other less usual tones, such as orange or green, in addition to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).

Other colours used by fine art or giclée printers include light cyan, light magenta, three varieties of grey, and other less prevalent tones like orange or green. The exact mix is determined on the printer type. This printing technology, like ink jet printers, deposits pigment in minute droplets on the paper, but the patterns and forms are considerably more detailed. As a consequence, a high-quality computerised printout that appears to have been handmade is produced. So, let’s discuss in detail the criteria that must be met to get this high quality fine art print.


Why should use Fine Art Printing:

We should use fine art printing to get the best results, as most of the artists, photographers, illustrators, or gallery owners use this type of print to get more précis in colour. There are two types of quality paper for fine art printing, mainly, Matte Papers and Photo paper.

High resolution artwork capture

You must first digitise your artwork. And getting the ideal print starts with getting the perfect artwork. A high-resolution artwork capture at 300 dpi or above is required for a genuinely superb giclée print. A high-resolution file offers the best possible detail in the print, and printing at enormous sizes is no issue. There are two ways for professionally digitising artwork: photography and scanning. There's a lot of contradicting advice out there about whether you should photograph or scan your artwork. Scanning, on the other hand, is usually always the better option. 

Pigment based inks

Pigment-based inks are used in giclée printers rather than dye-based inks, which are often found in lower-end/cheaper ink jet printers. Giclée printing has a lot of advantages over traditional printing when it comes to colour fidelity. Fine art prints are typically created with 9 or 12 colour ink sets; however, we like to utilise the 12-COLOUR LUCIA EX INK SET, which allows us to get incredibly vibrant colours. When it comes to colour fidelity, a lot depends on the skill of the person who is duplicating your artwork, so hiring an expert is a good idea.

Wide format ink jet printer

A wide format ink jet printer will be used by a fine art printer. In this industry, Epson and Canon are arguably the most extensively utilised. The Canon PROGRAM iPF9400 is the most recent model, and it allows us to print in a variety of sizes. From a diameter of less than 100 mm to a breadth of more than 60 inches (1500 mm)

Archival quality paper

A print must be printed on museum-grade paper or substrate to be qualified as a "fine art print." This basically says that it's archival-grade and will endure 75-100 years if properly cared for. Choosing the correct fine art paper is a very subjective process that varies significantly across artists and specific works of art.

Expertise of the printer

Reproducing artwork in order to make fine art reproductions "that appear exactly like the original" necessitates a unique set of skills and equipment. Not to mention a keen attention to detail and years of expertise. Make an informed decision when selecting a fine art printer. Don't be scared to inquire about their method and view examples of their prior work.
