History
Fine-Art Digital Printmaking, which is often called ‘Giclee’, can be said to have been started by the British musician Graham Nash and his associate R. Mac Holbert.
As a keen photographer, who continues to document his life in music, Graham Nash wanted a way to make large, archival quality prints. Building upon and developing the available technologies, Fine-Art Digital Printmaking was born...
They Formed a Printmaking company in the United States (Nash Editions), which has helped to develop an area of Printmaking that can be responsive to the needs of both Creator and Collector, meaning that images of the highest quality are available at an affordable price to many more Art lovers...
Like other quality Digital Printmakers, we use Epson professional printers and Ultrachrome ink because they currently offer the best combination of colour gamut and permanence...
Our Papers and Canvas...
We use substrates made by Hhannemhule in Germany. These are considered by many to offer the best combination of archival properties and wide colour gamut currently available. All the surfaces are suitable for Full colour, Black & White, or Toned, Art and Photography...
They are also ideal for those artists who wish to add painted or other elements to personalize a print... If you are working to a brief and have a particular technical requirement, we are happy to consider buying in a specific brand of paper or canvas to suit an individual client’s requirements (if printing a full edition)...
Hhannemhule Photo Rag Paper (308gsm):
