Photographic Printing
Paper: Semi-Matte & Lustre
This process, which is also referred to as Chromogenic Printing or C-41 printing, is much like old-school darkroom style printing. A digital image is projected onto light-sensitive, silver halide paper, and an archival photographic print is created when the paper is developed using photo chemistry. Our Semi-Matte has a smooth texture and a nearly matte finish, and Lustre has a subtle pebbled surface and a soft sheen.

Fine Art Printing
Papers: Giclée Matte, Hahnemühle Bright White, and Hahnemühle Museum Etching
Also known as Giclée printing or inkjet printing, this is the process of painting ink onto the surface of natural fiber paper. The colorgamut is wider, which creates a more detailed image. Our Giclée Matte option is a true flat matte paper, Hahnemühle Bright White is 100% cotton with a subtle texture, and Hahnemühle Museum Etching has a warmer tone and deeper texture.

Press Printing
Papers: Smooth Matte and Eggshell
Designed with production speed and volume in mind, press printing presses full images onto paper, using a collection of microscopic droplets of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). Our Smooth Matte paper is available for those who prefer a magazine style sheen, and Eggshell, which is recycled paper, has a matte texture and is more fitting for those who prefer a Fine Art look.
