Not Mere Copies – Discover the Beauty of Fine Art Prints

01 - 08 - 2022

Between the artist’s creation of the artwork and its delivery to the client there is a very delicate stage: its printing. This phase is so delicate because it can influence the esthetics and the overall quality of the finished work. 

For this reason, Cinquerosso Arte works with a printshop specialized in the production of Fine Art Prints, that is to say of the highest quality possible for the reproduction of works of art. Fine Art Printing does not describe a single technique, but rather a combination of materials, practices, and instruments that make it possible to obtain the best color rendering, the perfect texture, and the most complete range of nuances possible. However, materials, practices, and instruments are not sufficient: in fact, Fine Art Printing requires the experience and the skill of highly specialized professionals who are well acquainted with the complex interactions between support materials, inks, and machinery. 

Let us examine the latter two first. Our laboratory uses Epson printers and Epson UltraChrome XDX™ pigment ink capable of reproducing 98% of the colors certified by Pantone®. This percentage may not mean much to the layperson, but what it does mean is that there will be an abundance of colors in your artwork, and of the exact shade intended by the artist. 

Our laboratory has obtained the DIGIGRAPHIE© certification released by Epson only when certain, very rigid quality criteria are met. It thus ensures that the artworks will be printed according to the most elevated standards of the field. No less important is the choice of the support material, and in this case the human factor is decisive, because it implies the choice of the best material based on the desired rendering. Different inks react differently depending on the materials to which they are applied, which always have a hue and texture of their own. Even the light, whether it’s natural or artificial, will react with the ink-material combination generating different effects which need to be foreseen. 

This is why it is important for the experience of our staff and of our printer of choice to come together to ensure the best possible result, working in concert with the artist and bearing in mind the nature of the work itself. A photograph or a digital artwork are “born” to be reproduced, and thus the final effect is easier to predict – to a certain extent. When it comes to the one-of-a-kind, handmade works of art, an even more carefully trained eye is required to understand which may be the most effective way to reproduce them so that the print is accurate and as close to the beauty of the original as possible. 

We print all of our artists’ works on Hahnemühle paper with a grammage of at least 300 gsm. An example is Photo Rag, a 100% cotton paper among the most appreciated for the creation of Fine Art Prints.

Choose your favorite artwork or the piece that is best suited for your space, and rest assured that you’ll like it even more when you finally hold it in your hands.
