Printing Substrates
Summary of Printing Subtrates for Fine Art Prints
TORINO CANVAS
This is an exceptional material and is most likely the best product of its type on the market. Unlike most canvas materials this one is very finely woven which facilitates amazing detail rendition whilst at the same time producing pure accurate colour, in other words it is a canvas without the compromises.
Our canvas prints are all spray laminated and need no further treatment other than stretching. (Canvas prints can be bought stretched within Australia)
INNOVA ROUGH
A positively beautiful fine art paper, it has a rough pebbly texture making it lovely to touch and stunning to look at. Innova rough holds strong colours exceptionally well and despite the surface does not bleed fine detail.
Innova rough is a heavyweight 315 gsm paper so it hangs perfectly in the frame and of course it is a highly archival product.
INNOVA SMOOTH
A smooth matt paper which is glorious for both monochrome and colour prints. Detail retention is truly excellent and colour accuracy is wonderful, earthy tones for example hold their natural hues and yet it can still produce pure punchy colour when needed.
Innova smooth is a heavyweight 315 gsm paper so it hangs perfectly in the frame and of course it is a highly archival product.
ILFORD SUPER GLOSS
A stunning material that has the highest possible gloss level, the contrast range and potential colour purity are almost beyond words. This is the ultimate material for hard-edged industrial style images and abstracts.
Of course we don’t stop at the raw print, the resulting artwork is laminated to further heighten the gloss and impact and add an extra level of archival permanence
PREMIUM FINE ART CARDS
Photo Impressionist and Monochromes Series
Ilford Fine Art Gallerie
This paper needs no introduction for anyone who has used it, detail, colour saturation and contrast are all as good as any high end smooth matt but the stippled surface gives an extra dimension to the overall quality. The prints are produced using archival pigment inks and are intending for framing after giving.
PREMIUM FINE ART CARDS - HARD EDGED SERIES
Ilford Super Gloss
Ultra high gloss material with incredible clarity, card images are not laminated.
Note that premium Fine Art Cards are mounted in acid free card mounts, the cards are signed and numbered and are limited editions; they are for all purposes a small limited edition print ready for framing.
FINE ART CARDS - STANDARD VERSIONS
Epson Heavyweight Matt
This is a good quality matt paper that is of moderate weight it renders colours with great strength and holds detail nicely. Although not sold as an archival product its life expectancy is still very good with the pigment inks we use.
