Archival Fine Art Prints
The fine-art print process —also called giclée— is mainly used for printing works of art such as photographs, illustrations, and digital creations. It is a high-resolution digital technique based on a combination of pigment inks and archival papers.
We offer a museum-quality print highly accepted by artists and international museums. In the current technological conditions, a fine art print might reach a lifespan of several hundred years if preserved and treated as a work of art.
Printing Recommendations
Whatever image you bring to Artmedia Studio can be processed to optimize the file and achieve the best possible printing result. To this respect, we should consider: high-end scanning image or digital image in RAW format; digital image size according to the size of the print and at least 400 dpi resolution; Adobe RGB 1998 color space; File saved in TIFF format.
Color Management
Our Color Management System delivers color accuracy and the highest print quality resolution. We calibrate each paper or substrate creating its specific profile according to the previously assigned type of ink.
Personalized Attention
A fluid face-to-face interaction between the customer and the expert is indispensable in image processing. Our technological platform also allows for efficient remote interaction with artists and customers. Our service can reach the most accurate level as long as you have a calibrated computer screen at your site.
Evaluation of Images
We evaluate the technical conditions of digital or analog images with the artist. This evaluation considers the characteristics of pictures such as size, resolution, quality level, and state of preservation. This process is crucial to jointly plan the adequate strategies to carry out the final production of the image.
Artistic Vision
We produce the exact vision the artist has conceived because of our expertise and engagement. Our purpose is to fulfill the artist’s expectations and highlight the artwork. For accomplishing it, the artist should be in direct contact with the digital image expert during the working process.
Paper Choice
Printing papers (or substrates) have a great variety. We use substrates with museum-grade quality: acid-free, with anti-fungus treatment and high luminosities capable of guaranteeing the maximum gamut of color.
We can recommend the best paper choices for your artwork.

Print Proofs
