"Fine Art Velvet" Giclee Printing Service by Trail Studio, Hong Kong

Framed Fine Art Velvet for Kenneth So (Wedding Photogrpaher)

Giclee-printing on fine art paper is a dedicate printing technology highly apperciated by the worldwide high-end art/photography market, with its high operation cost and high level of technical expertise, Trail Studio is one of the very few specialists in Hong Kong.

Like traditional fine art media, giclee-print fine art papers are commonly made of cotton/alpha-cellulose, these costly but natural and long-lasting materials allow the printouts to be archival-safe, with great tactile quality, look more artistic, unique and elegant than common photo papers.

"Fine Art Velvet" Product Feature:
1. A UK made, economical all cotton fine art paper

2. Matt finish, slightly warm tone, heavy-weight and textured. A little bit velvet-like as its name suggested.

3. Archival-safe and adds tactile quality to the printout, hence making it feel more artistic, unique and elegant than common photo papers.

4. An extra 0.5" white border will be added outside of the image(free of charge) as our general practice, for framing traditionally with passe-partout. For borderless printing, please specify when placing order.

5. In humid places like HK, large photo papers may look a bit wavy after absorbing air moisture if not entirely mounted(adhered) onto a backing. FINE ART PAPER is recommended over it if you don't want to/can't entirely mount the print, but don't care for a wavy surface.

6. Recommended for general-topic photography, education use, painting/artwork duplication, and as bundled printout in commercial photography packages.

Important Note:
1. Many small-scale photo shops out-source large-format printing to 3rd parties and mark-up for profit, therefore quality is less guaranteed and with higher risk of file/copyright leakage.

2. Print-only and printing w/framing both welcomed, but a large-size bare-print is very delicate, having us frame it in-house under the same roof assures final quality, also saves your time and effort.

3. As a second-tier, warm-tone fine art paper, its weakness is a bit lack of punch in very dark-tones, strictly-speaking not recommended for black & white, cold-tone and low-key photos. For top-quality printouts, we recommend "Harman by Hahnemuhle".
