FINE ART PRINTS
Elevate your images or artwork with our Fine Art pigment prints, now backed by our prestigious recognition as a Certified Printing Studio for Digital Fine Art Printing by Hahnemühle. Ideal for photographic and fine art reproduction, digital art, black & white and color photography, limited edition prints, displays, or exhibitions, our prints ensure your creations shine on museum-quality paper.

DETAILS
Fine Art Prints are created with care using archival pigment inks and a large format inkjet printer. These luxury prints feature a weighty, fibrous feeling, vivid color and outstanding stability. We offer a beautiful collection of fine art papers from premier manufacturers. Color correction services are offered at no additional charge. A 5”x7” Test Print is included, on request, for prints ordered in sizes 16”x16” and larger. For smaller sizes, the Test Print fee is $10. Prints are offered borderless or with white borders.

General Information

We produce Fine Art Prints on our Epson P9000 using archival pigment inks and super high quality archival papers. From time to time you might get customers asking for something like a Giclee Print or an Archival Pigment Print. These are all the same thing. Museums will use those two terms interchangeably. Along the same line, our Photographic Prints produced on our Frontier are sometimes referred to Darkroom Prints, or C-Prints, or Chromogenic Prints. These are all the same. We use the highest quality papers to produce archival prints that are exposed with light and processed in chemistry using light sensitive paper. This is very important to photographers and artists who are reselling their work or having exhibitions.

Also note that Color Services has been awarded the status of being a Certified Printing Studio for Digital Fine Art Printing by Hahnemühle. We've gone through an extensive process of review of all of our printing processes with Hahnemühle to obtain this certification. So our customers can be assured that they're getting the highest quality prints possible when they order prints from us.

Signing Prints

Photographers will sometimes ask us the recommended way to sign their prints. One thing that an artist should always consider is archivability of the ink they're putting down on the print. It is not advised to use a sharpie pen. This will fade and discolor over time. We recommend a soft lead pencil on the back of the print, or something that's called a Pigment Liner. One brand is Staedtler. This is basically a fancy sharpie that's archival. They can find them at Art Essentials or Amazon. Gabe has a couple of them that customers can borrow. Ask him.
