Printing Process - The Most Advanced Methods Available and Premium Materials

SCOTT CHRISTENSEN CANVAS EDITIONS ARE THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST QUALITY ART REPRODUCTIONS

 

 

 

Scott Christensen Canvas Editions are the highest quality art reproductions available today.

 

 

They are a durable and archival, premium quality product.

 

 

The 1st class combination:   PHOTOGRAPHY - CANVAS - INK


 

 

 

Giclee Reproduction Process:

 

 

Artwork is photographed professionally and accurately, capturing minute detail on massive digital file.

 

 

Scott works in conjunction with a leading Brisbane based photographer, who boasts over 20 years experience in the field of capturing fine art.

 

 

The original artwork will be reproduced at an optical resolution of

 

1800 dots per square inch, which will render the edition to be virtually indistinguishable from the original.

 

 

In simple terms, when you look closely at the image you can't see any dot structure.

 

Each and every stroke from the artists brush is faithfully reproduced.

 

 


 

 

 

The canvas we use is premium quality. 

 

 

It is pre-primed, archival quality, imported from U.S.A. The company has been manufacturing artist's canvas for over 130 years,

 

 the oldest and arguably the finest canvas producers world wide.

 

 

 

Every sheet of Canvas is 100% visually inspected under special lighting by quality control personnel for imperfections.

 

.

The canvas is primed with an acid-free, acrylic titanium gesso to provide for the long term archival quality of the canvas.

 

 

An acid-free buffered sizing protects the canvas fibres from direct contact with the final priming.

 

Each canvas is then primed with a universal acrylic titanium formula and receives a specially formulated clear top-coat for printing ink receptivity. This top-coat also provides for a finer, more consistent texture to deliver enhanced fine art reproductions.


 

 

 

The inks used are the most advanced, lightfast inks available today.

 

 

 

Micro Encapsulation Technology

The Ink is a resin coated pigment ink that achieves superb colour expression and light-fastness rating of up to 45 years. Each pigment particle has an extremely smooth and uniform resin coating that polymerise on the canvas to create a smooth and uniform coating which promotes superior light reflection.

Micro Encapsulation Technology guarantees superbly sharp image reproduction and colour vibrancy along with marked improvements in light and water resistance.


 

 

Scott Christensen's Canvas Editions offer unprecedented longevity, surpassing the life of all

 previous offset lithographic processes by well over 100 times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On top of this high end technology, the reproductions are further coated with 2 - 3 satin layers of  U.V. protection,

 

taking the permanence rating to 100 years without fade.
