Fine Art Print Paper:

  • Torchon by Hahnemühle fine art watercolor paper.
  • Pure cellulose paper with watercolor paper qualities and distinct (slightly) textured surface.
  • Acid-free, pH neutral, pure cellulose paper.
  • Archival pigment inks for brilliance, vibrance and print longevity.
  • A matte (non-gloss) appearance with beautiful image sharpness and excellent color gradation to showcase the nuances of the image tones. 

Fine Art Print Mounting:

  • Unlike a flimsy poster or delicate unmounted print, our Fine Art Prints are back-mounted with a lightweight 1/4-inch white acid-free foamboard that ensures greater durability and longevity.
  • This prevents the print from sagging in your frame and also helps to prevent any curling, creasing, or wrinkling. 
  • The backmount runs edge to edge: if you order an 11x14 print, the backmount is 11x14. Perfect for inserting in frames.

No white border:

  • Fine art prints have NO border (there is no white border surrounding the image).
  • This means the photographic image covers the entire surface measurement of the print: if you order an 11x14 print, the photographic image is 11x14 with no border.
  • You are always welcome to custom frame your fine art print with a gorgeous white mat surround. If you are electing to have your framer add a mat to your image, we kindly recommend a white 8-ply museum mat for a fine art finish.

Cropping:

  • Due to the varied nature of standard print sizing (varied ratios), images may have slight variation on final cropping based on the standard dimension selected.

Surface Durability:

  • Torchon fine art watercolor paper, made by Hahnemühle, is a pure cellulose watercolor paper that renders absolutely gorgeous, but does not innately come with surface durability protection.
  • Although the Torchon surface is more resistant to scratches than other types of fine art paper, please always handle your print with care.
  • Frame your print (with glass overlay) to ensure your investment is well protected.

Sunlight:

  • Protect your fine art print investment from harsh, direct sunlight to ensure your print can be enjoyed for generations.
  • If you wish to hang your new fine art print in a sunny area, ask your professional framer about UV-Filter ArtGlass 99, which blocks 99% of UV rays.
