FAQ

Giclee Printing is a fine art digital printing method that combines pigment-based inks with high quality archival quality paper to achieve prints of superior archival quality, light fastness and stability. The Giclee printing process involves spraying microscopic dots of pigment-based ink onto high-quality art paper or canvas. This technique provides incredibly detailed prints that can retain their color and detail for more than a century with proper care.
The top choice of many artists and photographers, Giclee prints are prized for their vibrant color accuracy and exceptional detail. As compared to other print methods, Giclee offers the highest degree of accuracy and richness of color. This makes them ideal for artworks that have intricate details or for photographs that demand precision and extraordinary color depth.

1.     Control Over Presentation: By purchasing Canvas Prints, artists are able to take full control over the presentation of their work. Whether you have a unique or custom frame in mind, or you plan to display your artwork in a non-traditional way, canvas prints give you the freedom to personalize the final appearance of your artwork.

Selecting the ideal product for your artwork can be a pivotal decision, dictating the final appearance, feel, and longevity of your cherished pieces. Each of our products offers unique benefits and aesthetic qualities that cater to different styles and preferences. In the ‘Choosing the Perfect Product for Your Art’ section, we’ll guide you through our range of options, discussing the unique features of each, to help you make an informed choice that truly complements and enhances your artwork.

Consider the Artwork’s Scale: The size of your print should align with the dimensions of your original artwork. For larger pieces, a larger print size can effectively capture all the details, while smaller artwork can be best served with smaller print sizes.
Context Matters: Think about where the print will be displayed. A larger print might work best on an empty wall in a living room, while a smaller print might be more suitable for a desk or bedside table. Also, consider the existing décor and room size to ensure your print complements its surroundings.
Sample Different Sizes: If you’re unsure about the size, consider printing small samples of your work at different sizes to see which one works best. It’s an inexpensive way to make a more informed decision.
Understanding Border Options:
At Inked, we offer several border options, mainly for our Fine Art Prints. These include borderless, 1/4-inch border, 1-inch border, and a generous 2-inch border. Here’s how to choose:
Borderless: Ideal for full-bleed images or if you’re planning to frame the print. The artwork extends all the way to the edges.
1/4-Inch Border: This slight border gives your artwork a clean, finished look, especially when left unframed.
1-Inch Border: A more noticeable border that adds extra white space around your artwork, creating a “mat” effect and allowing for easier handling or framing.
2-Inch Border: This broad border provides an aesthetic boost, particularly for larger prints, and gives you ample space for stretching or framing.
Remember, the right size and border for your print will depend on your artwork, its intended location, and your personal preference. The Inked team is always here to help if you need advice or assistance in making your selection.

Submitting your artwork for printing can feel like a daunting task, but at Inked, we aim to simplify the process for you. In the ‘Submitting Your Artwork for Printing’ section, we will walk you through every step, from file preparation and upload to final verification. We will provide you with practical tips and guidelines to ensure your artwork is correctly formatted and ready for our high-quality printing process. Have your files ready? Select a product, upload your images, and let’s get printing.
File Format: Save your artwork as a high-resolution JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. These formats will retain the quality and detail of your artwork best for printing.
Resolution: The resolution of your image should be at least 240 dpi. This ensures that your printed artwork will be sharp and clear.
Color Profile: Use an RGB color profile (Preferrably Adobe RGB for Giclee & sRGB for Photo Printing) for your artwork file and embed the icc profile whenever prompted. While some prefer CMYK for print, our printers are RGB devices and will provide the most accurate color reproduction using this color profile.

Your print from Inked is a valuable piece of art, and with the right care, it can last for generations. Here’s how to handle, display, and care for your prints to ensure their longevity:
Handling Your Prints
Use Clean Hands: Always ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling your prints. Oils, dirt, and moisture from your hands can damage the print surface.
Use Cotton Gloves: For the best protection, use cotton gloves when handling prints. This prevents fingerprints and reduces the risk of scratching the print surface.
Hold Prints Correctly: When holding prints without a frame, hold them by the edges and support from beneath. Avoid touching the printed surface.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Choose a location for your print that is out of direct sunlight.
Use UV Protective Glass: If framing your print, consider using UV protective glass to further safeguard against light damage.
Control the Environment: Extreme temperatures and humidity can adversely affect your print. Aim for a stable, moderate climate and consider using a dehumidifier in humid environments.

Dusting: Dust your prints regularly using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning products or water on your prints.
Cleaning Frames: If your print is framed, clean the glass with a glass cleaner, but be careful not to let the cleaner seep under the edge of the frame onto the print.
Check Regularly: Regularly check your prints for any signs of mold, discoloration, or other damage, especially if displayed in a humid environment.
Your prints are meant to be enjoyed for a lifetime and beyond. With these tips, you’ll ensure that your artwork remains vibrant and intact for years to come. If you have any questions about caring for your print, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Inked.
