Your print on Fine art paper

Advantages of fine art paper

  • Shows high detail
  • Water resistant
  • Archival

Disadvantages

  • Not as durable as canvas
  • Not as deep blacks as photo luster paper

 

Also called watercolor paper or cotton rag paper, this paper type is much more stable over decades compared to a wood fiber-based paper or RC photo paper and shows more detail in high resolution prints compared to canvas. The paper we use, Optica One Smooth by Breathing Color has a smooth, satin-matte finish. It is bright white and produces deep blacks and rich colors with our HP Vivera pigment inks. It does not contain optical brighteners which have not been proven to be archival.

Mounting fine art paper

This paper works well with three of our mounting methods: Flat mount, Box mount, and Floating wood frame. If you want to use a fine art paper for our Gallery wrap mounting, we have a lighter-weight paper that we have used successfully, but we feel canvas is the best choice for Gallery wraps.
