The list is available in the following link - https://www.fineart.co.uk/artsure-approved-materials.aspx.
As a 'Friend' of the Fine Art Trade Guild, I keep make a regular review of developments in fine art printing and maintain printing standards that conform to the FATG criterea for fine art printing.
A true Giclée print should be printed on paper of at least 250 GSM weight, printed on acid free paper and with minimal or no Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs). The image should be printed using archival quality inks of a guaranteed colour standard.
Our Giclée quality prints are made using a 12 ink archival quality printing method and conform to or exceed the FATG Giclée printing standards. We print using Canon imagePROGRAF 1000 printers using a Canon 'Lucia' ink set.
We offer an on-site consultation with the photographer or artist to understand their vision and how best to meet it with the various products and printing styles. To make a print that acurately reflects the the screen image can be a complex task. We can provide advice on editing techniques to optimise print outcomes. A small fee applies.
