Epson Hot& Cold Press Papers
These papers are 100% acid free heavyweight cotton rag fine art paper with a textured or smooth radiant white or natural surface. This paper provides vivid color reproduction and rich black tones. These papers have long been a favorite fine art paper choice for artists, with archival museum quality. Light fastness rating of 100 years with Epson inks.
Proofing
We perform proofing (8”x10” test or proof print) for each artwork or file that we print. This is to ensure we obtain the best color possible and for artist approval before the final print is made.
What will it Cost?
Every job is different due to the variables that abound in art. Papers, pigments, pencils, watercolors, oils, pastels, all reproduce differently. The only way to get the print right is with knowledge (we have that), color management (got that too), Photoshop skills (rockin’), and the desire to give you a great print with a great printer Epson, 4880, 9890.
Our current pricing for either archival paper or archival canvas is…

Borders
Paper prints are produced with a 1″ additional border on all sides of the print for handling and matting. Accordingly, if you order a 20 x 30 print, your digital file will be printed 20 x 30 on a piece of Somerset Velvet Paper that is approximately 22 x 32 inches in size. Please state if you need trim marks on the corners of the print or not.
Canvas prints will be printed standard with a 2” border of your choice. Borders can be black, white, best match to background, or reflected wrap around edge. So a 16 x 20 in. print will be 16×20 inches on a canvas that is 20 x 24” in size.
