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. We stock two papers in all sizes and may have other papers in some sizes or we can special order for you.

Optica One Smooth

Optica One Smooth by Breathing Color is a 300gsm bright white, matte fine art paper with a luxuriously smooth surface ideal for high resolution photographic imagery. It is able to produce extremely crisp and accurate detail as a result of its leadership (when measured against other fine art papers on the market today) in tonal range value, line quality, line contrast, and raggedness. It has a smooth, satin-matte finish and produces deep blacks and rich colors with our HP Vivera pigment inks.

Elegance Velvet

Elegance™ Velvet Platinum Edition also by Breathing Color is a vellum surface (lightly textured) Fine Art Paper ideally suited for luxurious fine art and photographic reproduction, portraits, and presentational art graphics for printed displays. This 310g, Bright White, water-resistant Fine Art Paper is made from 100% cotton fiber and is acid and lignin free. Elegance™ Velvet Platinum Edition is a proprietary mouldmade fine art paper that is stronger and more dimensionally stable than other velvet inkjet papers currently available today. It has a high white point, and a remarkable ink load capacity that can be pushed beyond the standard thought of limitation.

Mounting fine art paper

Both of these papers work well with four of our mounting methods: Flat mount, Box mount, Metal frame, 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.
