We begin by saying both materials are outstanding. It is only a matter of taste and nothing else. We will talk about both of them in detail, so you have a better understanding of what cotton canvas and paper are. Apart from that, we will give you some leads to the process of printing so, again; you can brag with all your friends when you tell them about these beautiful prints.

 

When it comes to ink, you have nothing to worry. We print by using thermal inkjet printers, and they have the latest chromolithography technology, also known as the method for making multi-colour prints. These inks are pigment inks and are the best for your buy since they are waterproof and UV resistant. Apart from that, they can even last more than a life without fading not even one bit.

 

Having that said, we move to the material. Which is the most recommendable, cotton canvas or paper? Unfortunately, we cannot choose over your taste, but we will tell you all about them so you can make a choice based on your interest. Nevertheless, if you are still not sure which of the two you prefer, do not hesitate in contacting us and we will do our best to help you.

Fine Art Paper:

 

Fine Art Paper has vivid colours, mostly yellow, magenta and cyan. When you see prints with a wide range of different colours on the lithograph, fine art paper will not disappoint you. Given the material, all of them look incredibly clean. The colours are vibrant and full of life. If you want to have a print that looks alive and with all the complete detail of the image itself, is your go-to choice.

Apart from that, our paper is super easy to hang. You can frame it to protect it more -even if that is not needed- and it will give a whole new design. It goes perfect with classic frame designs and in white and black colours. If you don’t want to hang it, you can dangle it on your wall only by using tape in the back part of the print to not damage it.
