Q: How should I care for my wall art?
A: To preserve the vibrancy and quality of your wall art, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading over time. Regularly dust your artwork using a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean and free from debris. Proper care will ensure your art remains stunning and fresh for years to come.
Q: What materials are your posters made from?
A: Our posters are printed on museum-grade archival paper with a weight of 189 g/m², ensuring exceptional quality and longevity for your artwork.
Museum-grade archival paper is a high-quality, acid-free paper designed to meet the highest standards of longevity and durability. It is specifically crafted to resist yellowing, deterioration, and fading over time, making it ideal for preserving artwork and fine prints. This type of paper is often used for professional art reproductions, photography, and posters, ensuring they maintain their original quality for years to come.
Q: How are the colors on the posters so vibrant?
A: We use Giclée printing technology, which produces bright, fade-resistant colors for stunning and lasting visuals.
Giclée printing technology is a high-quality printing method used for fine art reproductions. The term "Giclée" comes from the French word "gicler," meaning "to spray," referring to the inkjet process that sprays pigment-based inks onto archival-quality substrates like paper or canvas.
This technique is renowned for its ability to produce vibrant, fade-resistant colors with exceptional detail and smooth gradient transitions. Giclée prints are often used for museum-quality artwork, limited editions, and professional photography due to their longevity and stunning visual quality.
The process involves using advanced inkjet printers with up to 12 color cartridges, ensuring a wide color gamut and precise reproduction of the original artwork. Additionally, the materials used, such as archival paper or canvas, contribute to the durability and premium feel of the prints1.
Q: Can these posters be used outdoors?
A: Our posters are designed exclusively for indoor use to preserve their quality and appearance.
Q: What type of finish do the posters have?
A: Each poster features a matte finish that beautifully absorbs light, minimizing glare for an elegant look.
Q: Where are the blank products sourced from?
A: We source the blank products for our posters from Japan, ensuring the highest standards of quality.
Q: How should I care for my posters?
A: To keep your posters in excellent condition, avoid direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning when necessary.
