3 Things We Look for in a Fine Art Printing Service
Fine art printing is extreme printing and is not about producing a poster for a one-off campaign but ending up with a work of fine art. This requires many things to be considered during the selection and printing process.
So, let us explore FINE ART PRINTS to see just what we should take into account and expect from our chosen printer.
The Possibility for Different Sized Prints
If we want something printed to make an impact on our wall, then we will want to know that we can have it in a larger size. That we can go, for instance, from A1 and right through to A6 with its size. This is likely to be larger than we could produce ourselves on a home printer setup.
It is useful to look up and know the different sizes that equate to these A-Series numbers in stationery and art production. For instance, that A4 is equivalent to 210 mm x 297 mm, and that an A3 print should measure 297 mm x 420 mm. It is good to have these international paper sizes so that there is no disputing what size we have asked for. The only places in the world that do not use these sizes will be North America, South America, and parts of Central America. Other than that, anywhere in the world, they should be understood. This makes ordering fine art prints online easy, whatever country you are from, barring a few exceptions.
Grade of Paper
When you have a fine art print that you want to frame, you do not want a grade of paper that will wrinkle in the frame over time or not stay in position because it is too thin. There is nothing like a high grade of paper to set off an image and make it look that bit more special.
The thickness of paper, which is simply classified by its weight, is measured in gsm. Quality thicknesses will typically range from 240 gsm to 310 gsm. It is about having a thickness of paper that can be defined as more card-like than the thin consistency that paper offers. Then the grade chosen can be plain or textured in some way. It is all about giving it that feeling of luxury where required.
Range of Colours
The variety and the saturation of colours will help print a work of art to as near as that desired by the artist. Vivid colours can bring something to life and be responsible for either making it look abstract or realistic, depending on the type of fine art intended. It is a skill to be able to capture something exactly as it is in real life. To have it stand out like a 3-D image is the result. Whatever you can create on paper or canvas can be recreated as a print and then several times over. This can mean that you can have the same image on different walls or the same image to give out as presents to lots of different people. It can be an image of your efforts that can be marvelled at for years to come.
Printing options allow for customized prints to be ordered. It can be bespoke to your ordering requirements and be something individual to add to your home décor that says something about you as a person.
In conclusion, the things to look out for with printing will include the fact that you can choose the size of print you want to be reproduced for your wall. Also, the grade of paper the image is produced on for it to stay in situ in the frame and not look wrinkled in years to come. In addition, an option can be chosen that provides a greater range of colours. To have as near to the colour as in real life, or as was created by the artist's palette, will be the most favourable outcome. It will be like we have the real work of art in front of us, except the original may well be elsewhere or still with the person who originally painted it. It has to be thought of as more advanced printing when we can extend a poster, advertising perhaps a music concert, into a work of fine art that we can display on our wall more permanently and know that it will keep its same look for years to come as long as we look after it and display it correctly.
