We have many creative agencies and printing consultants who provide both fine art printing services and canvas printing services. But the question arises in your mind, What is fine art printing? And what is canvas printing?

Canvas printing is the process of printing a photo onto a canvas and it is stretched and gallery wrapped using a frame and finally rendered. On the other hand, fine art printing is the process of printing old or new paintings (artwork) onto a canvas for preserving these relics for a long time. Both the printing techniques result in products which are long-lasting.

Quality fine art prints catch the eye of the onlooker and prove to be the best examples of quality canvas printing. Today a large number of professional photographers and artists in metro cities like Bangalore and Mumbai are always on the lookout for best fine art printing and canvas printing services.

Coating canvas prints or fine art prints will increase the longevity of the prints by protecting them from dust, dirt, moisture and insects. Even the museums all over the world are adopting fine art printing techniques to make the art relics immortal.

You can get different textured canvas paper to suit your digital photo printing or fine art printing projects. If you want a glossy look or a matte finish, you must choose the suitable canvas paper that serves your purpose.

History of Printing.
Home / Blogs / History of Printing.
                                   
The history of printing goes back to the duplication of images by means of stamps in very early times. The use of round seals for rolling an impression into clay tablets goes back to early Mesopotamian civilization before 3000 BCE, where they are the most common works of art to survive, and feature complex and beautiful images. In both China and Egypt, the use of small stamps for seals preceded the use of larger blocks.
In China, India and Europe, the printing of cloth certainly preceded the printing of paper or papyrus. The process is essentially the same – in Europe special presentation impressions of prints were often printed on silk until the seventeenth century.
The earliest documented evidence of printing dates back to the 2nd century when the ancient Chinese started using wooden blocks to transfer images of flowers on silk. Around the 4th century, woodblock printing on cloth was practiced in Roman Egypt. The Chinese began printing on paper in the 7th century, and they created the Diamond Sutra, the first complete printed book, in 868. The first movable type printing system was invented by Pi Sheng in China around 1040. This printing device used movable metal type pieces to produce prints, and it made the process of printing more efficient and flexible. Nonetheless, since it was made of clay, it broke easily. In the 13thcentury, the Koreans created a metal type movable printing device, which applied the typecasting method that was used in coin casting.
The key figure in the history of printing is Johann Gutenberg (1400 – 1468) of Mainz, Germany. He was a silversmith by profession. Around 1430-40 he invented movable, interchangeable, re-usable type, for printing on wooden press (adopted from wine or cheese using a printing ink of a composition invented by him. It was an oily, varnish-like ink made of soot, turpentine, and walnut oil.
His business was backed by a man called Fust (or Faust) and he had an assistant Peter Scha – the print shop probably had around 25 staff and aimed to print around six pages of a book per day. His masterpiece is the Bible printed in 1453-4 , 180 copies were made, each of 1282 pages with 42 lines in two columns. They were designed to be completed by colouring main capitals etc by hand. 48 copies are known to exist now ( a very fine copy is held in the John Rylands Library in Manchester).
Gutenberg’s actual technique of making movable type remains unclear; he was familiar with the craft of casting metal from a reverse impression. He may have made castings from sand or plaster, but we probably shall never know for certain. However we know that a few years after his death the process used involved the production of a metal punch, the end of which would have been cut to produce a reverse impression of the type.
His invention of the printing press is widely thought of as the origin of mass communication– it marked Western culture’s first viable method of disseminating ideas and information from a single source to a large and far-ranging audience. A closer look at the history of print, however, shows that the invention of the printing press depended on a confluence of both cultural and technological forces that had been unfolding for several centuries.

Print culture and technology also needed to go through centuries of change after Gutenberg’s time before the “massification” of audiences could fully crystallize.

What are Archival quality prints? Why you need them?

 What is Archival Quality?
Fine Art Papers & canvas are often described as being archival quality.  This article describes and explains what archival quality means and how its beneficial for a photographer to take his prints on these medias.
             
Its important to keep and treasure the images & memories of special occasions for a long time.  After you have spent precious time and effort to create the perfect image and can’t wait to put it on paper, stop and think  how long will this print last? It’s worth taking a second glance at what type of paper you’re printing with to ensure permanence for the art and photography you create.  Is your paper archival quality?
Archival quality paper, also referred to as museum grade, according to ISO Standard 11108, means that:

  1.  The paper is acid free with a pH value between 7.5 and 10
  2.  The paper has an alkali reserve of at least 2% calcium carbonate
  3.  The paper is resistant to tearing
  4.  The paper is free of easily oxidized material, or lignin
  5.  The paper is made from cotton
  6.  The paper has a high endurance to breakage by folding
The ISO 11108 and 9706 standards and their predecessors, including NISO ANSI Z39.48-1992 and NISO ANSI Z39.48-1984, were established to provide criteria for paper to last several hundred years in libraries and archives in order to reduce problems these entities face in preserving important works.  ISO Standard 9706 sets forth the first four requirements above to certify a paper for permanence, while ISO 11108 adds two additional requirements for archival quality.  Archival quality papers are significantly stronger than permanent papers, can withstand more handling, and will last longer.

              

The United States Library of Congress sets forth even stricter standards than ISO 11108 for archival papers.  The Library requires a stricter pH between 8 and 9.5 and requires the paper be free of optical brightening agents.  The Library of Congress further requires papers to pass a Photographic Activity Test performed by Rochester Institute of Technology’s Institute of Paper Permanence.  This test certifies that the paper does not fade or bleed, and passes strict metallic impurities specifications to avoid damage to photos and documents they come in contact with.
How do you know whether a paper has met these complex scientific requirements for archival quality?
Wilhelm Imaging Research is an organization created to help technical and non-technical brains sort out the science behind archival quality by performing unbiased testing, so the rest of us can focus on creating photographs and art with confidence that they will withstand the test of time.
 
Wilhelm Imaging Research conducts independent research on the stability and preservation of traditional and digital color photographs.  WIR tests individual brands of paper for permanence with the most commonly used desktop and large-format inkjet printers and publishes the results, providing credibility to company claims that a paper is archival quality. Wilhelm Imaging Research is trusted by top museums, archives, and commercial collections with consulting services to ensure long term storage of the most precious items.
