We print on LexJet Velvet Rag Fine Art Paper (315 gsm), a heavyweight 100% cotton, acid-free paper with the texture and appearance of traditional watercolor paper.
This paper exceeds museum standards for digital fine art printing and was selected to preserve the beauty and character of the original paintings.
For more information check out our about Materials page.
-
Paper significantly affects how artwork looks and feels. Cotton rag paper produces richer blacks, softer tonal transitions, exceptional detail, and a tactile experience that closely resembles an original watercolor.
The result is artwork that feels substantial and enduring rather than mass-produced.
-
When properly displayed and cared for, archival pigment prints on cotton rag paper can remain beautiful for many decades.
Proper framing and avoiding direct sunlight are the most important factors in preserving fine art prints.
