PRINTING METHODS
Processing these unique photos into fine art we use two different methods. Both of these methods give outstanding colors and with UV art-glass framing they hold archival quality that will last well over 100 years
> Archival Pigment Print
Also known as Giclée. The image is printed with archival pigment ink on museum quality matte fine-art paper. We use high end Hanhnemühle acid-free archival bright white paper and print with eleven different UltraChrome HDX-inks that match Pantone®-certified colors. Our pigment prints have an artistic feel to them with rich, deep dark tones and a bright whites.
> Glossy Photographic Print
Another type of Giclée. The image is printed with archival pigment ink on high quality glossy photographic paper to give it a classic, natural shine due to the reflectivity. The resin coated substrate material has a microporous inkjet coating which is specifically designed for colour photo application. We use high end Hanhnemühle bright white paper and print with eleven different UltraChrome HDX-inks that match Pantone®-certified colors.
> Archival Chromogenic Print
Also known as Lambda (C-print). Images are exposed on light sensitive paper and processed through methods of chromogenic chemistry. We use high end semi-matte paper that will gurarante to hold colors a lifetime or more when framed with UV art-glass.

PRINTING SIZES
All our images are individually cropped and have different aspect ratios - paper sizes will sometimes vary to standard sizes due to the motif. All our sizes refer to the printed area of the image produced, not the paper size. All prints have a white edge of approximately 10mm. 
CUSTOM PRINTS
If you find a motif in our catalogue that requires special attention for your needs - do not hesitate to ask. We will help you find the right technique and size for your fine-art print.
HANDLING YOUR FINE ART
Handling your fine artwork must be done very gently and as little as possible until properly framed. Avoid folding or bending the paper. When handling, make sure your hands are washed and dry, or use gloves. Always use both hands, no fingers should ever be placed on the surface of the print.
If a particle should land on the surface, in first hand try to blow off with compressed air or a manual fan, or dust off the print very carefully with a dry non-fluffy towel. Do not place any object on top of print. Do not use any cleaning products on the surface of the print. In general - try handling as little as possible before framing.
