THE HIGHEST QUALITY ARCHIVAL PRINTS

The highest quality art print reproduction across all elements of the production process.

Museum quality prints.

Whether you fall in love with the raw presence of an original painting or are drawn to the versatile beauty of a museum-quality print, both bring soul and story into your space.

Quality Art Materials.

I exclusively produce my artwork using top-tier Liquitex
professional heavy body acrylic paints renowned for their museum-quality, high
viscosity, pigment-rich, lightfast satin finish, ensuring enduring, vibrant
colors rated ASTM I (excellent) for permanence and lightfastness. I produce my
paintings on gesso-coated canvas made of archival-quality, acid-free, natural
cotton or linen, stretched over kiln-dried, sustainably sourced 1.5"
profile reinforced wood stretcher bars.

 

The Highest Quality Artwork Photography & Color Matching
for Vibrant Colors.

I photograph every artwork at ultra-high resolution with a
dedicated natural lighting setup, employing reflectors and diffusers for
precise control over light intensity, color, and light shape. Using a Nikon
HDSLR 24.2-megapixel DX format camera, I meticulously photograph each piece to
reproduce its true, lifelike colors, ensuring accurate color grading that
reflects the authentic hues of the paint on the canvas, under natural light
conditions. I convert RGB to CMYK color mode for printing as needed.

 

Speedy Order Placement.

When a customer such as you places an order on this Shopify
store, both the printer and myself as the artist are notified automatically and
immediately, and work commences quickly to ensure the process is quick and the
print reaches you as soon as possible.

 

File Checking to Ensure Quality.

The print-on-demand provider checks the artwork image files
when chosen to ensure they meet the required specifications for quality
printing. This includes resolution, color profiles, focus, and other technical
aspects.

 

Print Calibration.

Print machines are calibrated regularly to ensure accurate
color reproduction and print quality. This calibration helps maintain
consistency of end art replication across multiple different orders.

 

Material Inspection.

The materials used for wall art, such as canvas or paper,
are inspected for quality, excellence, and durability.

 

Print Testing.

Routine periodic testing of the printing equipment is
completed to identify and address any equipment issues that might affect print
quality.

 

Human & Machine Color Matching.

Human and machine testing is conducted to ensure that the
reproduced colors match the original design as closely as possible. This is
crucial for maintaining the integrity and accurate reproduction of the artwork.

 

Packing and Shipping Checks.

Quality checks extend to the packing and shipping process to
ensure that the finished artwork reaches you the customer, in the best possible
condition. If your artwork arrives damaged in any way because of the shipping
process enroute, I will work quickly to ensure rapid replacement to you.

 

Customer Feedback Analysis.

I do surveys and monitor customer feedback and reviews to
stay abreast of and address any quality concerns or issues promptly. This
feedback loop is important for continuous ongoing improvement over time.

 

Proactive Customer Responsiveness.

You, my customer are the most valued part of my art and my
business, and I want to make sure my art makes you happy….and positively
changes your life. I provide rapid follow-up and attention to any quality
problems with fast replacement or refund for any problems caused in the
reproduction or shipping process. The paper and card stock that prints are
printed on is important for quality.

 

Acid-Free Paper that will Last for 200 Years:

replicated on acid-free, 100 percent cotton archival paper.

Both acid-free paper and archival-quality paper are designed
to preserve the longevity and the quality of prints, but there are some
differences between them.

 These premium materials provide our art print-on-demand
prints with a soft look and feel, which means that they create a welcoming and
hospitable touch to your home, apartment or office. But not all prints are
created equal.

 

Acid-free paper is manufactured without any acidic compounds
that can cause degradation over time, and are more resistant to yellowing and
deterioration for art prints over long periods. Acid-free paper is designed to
last for centuries, and due to its construction, will not yellow with
age, and won't get brittle in the same way that paper with acidity may
over time. Most of today’s commercial paper is acid-free, as the process for
making it is more environmentally friendly—important for our planet, and a bonus
that it will last much longer.

Acid-free paper is suitable for most general purposes,
including my art prints, where long-term preservation (100+ years), isn't a
primary concern. But not all acid-free paper is of archival quality. Acid-free
means that the base paper fibers must have a pH of 7 (i.e. neutral) or slightly
above (alkaline). If a paper has been coated to ensure proper ink absorption
when used with a printer, that coating must also measure neutral on the pH
scale. Acid-free paper can have archival qualities, but may not have additional
features like buffering agents or lignin-free properties that further enhance
preservation.

 

Archival Quality Paper.

Archival quality paper goes beyond acid-free paper quality
by incorporating additional features to ensure long-term preservation, but not
all acid-free paper is of archival quality. Acid free archival paper
can last more than 1,000 years(!!)… and is used in situations where art or
documents require a longer life without becoming yellow or breaking down. It's
also used commonly in the long term archival storage of art, documents and
textiles. To meet that higher benchmark, a paper must not only be acid-free, it
must also be manufactured using pure cotton fibers(a.k.a. cotton rag) or pure
alpha cellulose fibers, which are naturally more durable than wood pulp.

 

It typically includes buffering agents to neutralize any
acids that might enter the paper over time from external sources, including
microscopic environmental pollutants from the air. Archival paper often
contains lignin-free fibers, as lignin can cause yellowing and brittleness in
paper over time. It undergoes rigorous testing to meet certain standards for
longevity, often specified by organizations like the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

 

In summary, while both acid-free and archival quality papers
offer some level of protection against degradation, archival quality paper
provides more comprehensive safeguards against deterioration over time,
typically over many decades or even centuries. If you're looking to ensure the
highest level of preservation for your prints for a long time, especially if
they are valuable or historically significant (as are my art prints!), choosing
archival quality paper is the preferred option.
