Our high quality printer with long lasting inks is state of the art technology, along with personalized service, provides our customers with accurate and consistent results. Portrait paper with a luster finish is used in this printing process.

Watercolor Paper

Keepsakes and Montages printed on our watercolor paper are considered fine-art prints, also be called giclée prints (pronounced "Zhee-clay"). Giclée prints are produced on one of many types of printers, and have incredible tonal range, detail, and colorfastness. This watercolor paper has the subtle texture of an etching paper and a soft white tone. It is mould-made and inherently acid free, appealing characteristics that artists have enjoyed for over 400 years. This is the heaviest watercolor paper we offer, giving the final print a substantial feel.

Canvas
