What is the difference between Fine Art, Press and Photographic Albums?

  • Updated

FINE ART ALBUMS

  • A Fine Art based album is printed on a 12 color process large format giclee printer otherwise known as inkjet.
  • We only use archival based inks and fine art papers that are archival certified to last 200+ years. This method provides the highest level of quality possible on the market.
  • We then apply a protective coating that prevents possible damage caused by finger prints and moisture.
  • Each printed spread is then bound to a board like paper based material that gives each page a thick and sturdy matte board like feel when in view.

PRESS PRINT ALBUMS

  • Identical to our Fine Art Albums in every way except for the printing method.
  • Your album spreads are digitally press printed using the HP Indigo also known to be one of the best digital presses in the world.
  • The ink is archival based and our range of fine art press papers are archival certified to last 150+ years. Although this process is more affordable the quality is exceptional.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUMS

  • Identical to our Fine Art Albums in every way except for the printing method.
  • Your album spreads are printing using the traditional silver halide printing process.
  • This type of print is also known as Photographic and is considered the standard for professional photographers.
  • Silver Halide is a 100 year old technology that keeps on getting better. Continuous tone images are still the standard against which all other imaging technologies are measured.
