Choosing the right paper for your project is a key element of printing. Differences in structure, brightness, and surface type directly impact the presentation of color, contrast, and tonal transitions. That's why we've prepared a list of the papers we use at Gicleo and we've divided them into three categories: archival, premium, and poster. This division facilitates comparison of substrates and the informed selection of materials appropriate for the nature of the work.
Archival papers are designed for professional fine art and photographic prints, where color durability and fidelity to the original are crucial. These certified papers are used in galleries, museums, and private collections as a fully-fledged way to present works.
