Print & Material

Here’s everything you need to know about print quality and material! I exclusively sell Giclée and metal prints – two options that offer stunning results. Giclée stands for high-quality, long-lasting reproductions.

Metal (or alu-dibond) prints, on the other hand, infuse my artworks directly onto aluminum, resulting in a sleek, modern finish with exceptional durability and a high-gloss sheen that makes colors pop.

What Is A Giclée Print?

A giclée print is a high-quality, fine art reproduction created using inkjet printing technology. The term “giclée” comes from the French word “gicler,” meaning “to spray,” referring to the inkjet printing process. Unlike standard inkjet prints, giclée prints use specialized archival inks and high-resolution printers to achieve a level of detail and color accuracy that closely mirrors the original artwork.

Giclée prints are produced on acid-free, archival-grade paper, ensuring that the prints remain vibrant and resistant to fading over time. I use “Hahnemühle Museum Edging, scroll down for more info.

Hahnemühle Museum Etching

Hahnemühle Museum Etching is a natural white cotton art paper with an inkjet coating specially optimised for FineArt printing. This heavyweight textured paper does not contain optical brighteners and is characterised by its high stability. The finely textured surface with fine felt structure lends FineArt prints added depth and a three-dimensional effect. Combined with the pure cotton base, this creates a wonderfully soft tactile feel and artistic impression.

The premium matt inkjet coating produces excellent print results. Colours are wonderfully vivid, the depth of the black truly stands out and details are reproduced perfectly. The acid- and lignin-free Museum Etching meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is ideal for reproducing photographs and works of art.

As a special highlight, Museum Etching is also available in A2 and A3+ with hand-torn deckle edges on all four sides. The result is exclusive prints which truly come into their own when float framed.

Metal Prints

(Alu-Dibond)

Metal prints offer a sleek and contemporary way to showcase artwork with exceptional durability and visual impact. Alu-Dibond is a composite material consisting of two layers of aluminum with a solid plastic core, which provides a lightweight yet sturdy base for printing. The artwork is infused directly onto the aluminum surface, resulting in vivid colors, sharp details, and a high-gloss finish that enhances the image’s depth and contrast.

This printing method not only delivers a modern, industrial look but also ensures that the print is resistant to scratches, water, and fading, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor display. With its striking appearance and robust construction, Alu-Dibond metal prints are perfect for creating eye-catching, long-lasting art pieces.
