Printing
Giclee
printing is the process of making fine art prints using digital sources.
Your fine art galleries and high-end print shops use this technique
to get the highest quality in creating works of art. Here at Art's Not
Dead, we feel it necessary to go the extra mile to bring you only the
best. From start to finish, your new artwork is handled by our experts
to ensure 100% satisfaction.
Paper
Choices
Art's
Not Dead uses only the highest grade archival materials for our posters
and prints. This is art we are talking about here and only the best
will do. From paper to ink, we not only want you to be happy with your
purchase, but we also want your purchase to last a lifetime.
Archival
Paper Matte or Archival Paper Gloss
Art's
Not Dead uses only the thickest high quality archival paper at 50#.
(Your average desktop printer uses 20# paper. Your average poster is
36# - that's the cheap flimsy poster you will find everywhere else.)
What
is "archival"? Archival refers to the fact that this paper
is meant to last a lifetime. The ink will not fade.
Its
difficult to show with images the difference between matte and gloss.
The archival paper matte is a basic matte, non-gloss paper. The archival
paper gloss is actually a "satin" finish and not a high gloss.
We use a 3-mil laminate for the gloss prints which adds the satin finish
and also protects against moisture and damage.
Museum
Quality Canvas and Canvas Stretching
PLEASE NOTE CANVAS STRETCHING IS A TIME CONSUMING SERVICE USUALLY TAKING 7-10 DAYS FOR DELIVERY
Canvas
is the cotton material fine artists use to paint their masterpieces.
Art's Not Dead uses museum quality canvas for all canvas items. Canvas
is textured (see images below) and adds a painterly artistic quality
to your new piece of art. It changes a poster or print into work of
art.
Canvas
is available both unstretched (ships rolled) and stretched. Canvas stretching
is the process of pulling the material over a wooden frame. (see images
below). By default, all items are stretched "museum wrap",
which means the image is on the front only, with white on the sides,
and stapled in the back. Please contact us, if you would like this any
other way at the time of purchase.
