Single edition print, 1/1
pigment ink print on fine art archival cotton paper (Canson Platine Fibre Rag)
_ 58 x 87 cm: sold
signed, with certificate
_ the print comes with a white border of about 1,5 cm on each side, which allows for proper handling and facilitates matting and framing; the size mentioned above is a net size that does not include this border;
_ prints on archival fine art papers up until 58 by 87 cm are printed by myself on a Canon ImageProGraf Pro 2100 printer, using archival Canon Lucia Pro ink;
_ disclaimer: as part of the printing process, and to ensure my personal quality standards are met, several test prints are made, including a small sized colour proof (CP, typically A4). In the final print run, apart from this single edition, two full sized artist's proofs (AP) are created, one of them for exhibition purposes (so basically, it serves as an hors de commerce proof). In addition, a small (A4) HC print finds its way into my paper portfolio.
In terms of paper, the Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II could have been an obvious choice. Still, while I really wanted for the dark brown tones to come through, I didn't want the already high contrast to detract from the tranquility and smoothness I was going for. In the end, I opted for Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag, which matches the image perfectly. It's a an acid and OBA free, internally buffered, ISO 9706 compliant fine art paper that can easily be mistaken for a generic all-rounder because it basically every image looks good on it. Some, however, shine, and this is one of them.
