Using the very finest award winning Hahnemühle digital fine art papers means that original artwork can be reproduced as museum quality Giclée prints. The Hahnemühle paper mill has been producing quality mould-made artists’ papers since 1584.
The fine are printing service offered by ESJ Designs can be used for reproducing original pieces of art or photos for personal display or for producing limited edition prints for sale.
Giclée printing technology
Modern giclée printing is successfully completed by using the finest fine art media combined with digital printers running at maximum quality. Fine art prints are printed at 2400dpi and at slower speeds to standard photo printing to give stunning museum quality prints. The use of pigment based inks mean that your fine art prints will resist fading for 200 years.
Fine Art paper types
ESJ Designs use two types of giclée media, Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl and Hahnemühle William Turner Watercolour. Both Hahnemühle papers are archival rated and produced in accordance with ISO9706 specifications. The papers are 100% acid free with a neutral pH.
Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl is a triple coated, lignin free, 100% alpha-cellulose paper. The result is an age resistant paper with a surface that is remarkably similar to a traditional silver gelatin double-weight photo paper. Fine Art Pearl is a 310gsm, superior fibre-based digital fine art media has the look and feel of a traditional darkroom photo paper. The paper coating provides a mid lustre surface finish.
Hahnemühle William Turner is a 285gsm natural white, genuine mould-made watercolour paper that has a 100% rag content making it highly archival. This genuine fine art printing paper made of pure alpha cellulose presents a textured surface and provided with a matt Premium-Inkjet coating. This special coating permits high quality printing. William Turner is perfect for the reproduction of traditional Watercolour fine art prints or reproducing photographs with superior detail and appearance.
Image guidelines for Fine Art prints
Both digital images and hard copy photographs are suitable for fine art giclée printing. Hard copy photographs can be posted and ESJ Designs offer a free scanning service. Photographs will be returned. Digital photographs can be emailed. The simplest method is to email a full size JPEG, straight from the camera and ESJ Designs will size it correctly and email a proof back before proceeding with the fine art print.
