Frequently Asked Questions regarding our archival museum quality Fine Art Prints:


Q: What is the difference between a 100% rag (cotton fibre based paper) VS normal paper?

A: Our Museum Quality Fine Art Prints use cotton fibre based paper (commonly known as "rags") which is the most expensive highest grade fine art papers. Unlike normal paper which is made from wood pulp from trees, cotton paper does not contain the natural acids and lignins in wood pulp that may turn the paper yellow and affect the paper's quality over time. Cotton fibre based paper also feels sturdier than normal wood pulp based paper.

(Our Photo Fine Prints is one of the highest grade "Alpha-Cellulose" wood pulp based paper on the market. It has the acids and lignins removed, so it will not turn yellow over time, but it is not as long lasting as the “Rag” paper.)


Q: What is the different between pigment ink and standard dye inks?

A: Dye based inks are the standard low cost inks most people purchase for their inkjet printers. Dye inks are dissolved in a liquid. When sprayed on to paper, it usually takes more time to dry and the resulting printing is highly susceptible to water damage. A drop of water on the print will make it smear. Dye ink is also spread only very thinly on the paper surface and is more susceptible to UV rays, so they tend to fade overtime.

Pigmented ink usually consists of a very fine powder of solid colorant particles suspended in a liquid carrier. Pigment particles tend to bond strongly to paper, and is not susceptible to water after it dries. It also forms a thicker layer on paper, and is less susceptible to UV rays, all of which make it much less susceptible to fading. Pigment ink is definitely the better medium if you want prints that are durable and ultra long lasting.


Q: I've heard the word "Giclee" printing? Are URPhoto's Fine Art Prints Giclee or not?

A: In the printing world, there is no official standard that defines "Giclee". It is simply a French word that means "Splash", which some people (probably French) started to use to define inkjet printing, because inkjet is like "splashing" ink on to paper. As time went on, Giclee became more and more synonymous with high quality inkjet printing, but again there is no standard, so anyone can call their prints Giclee. Nowadays when a printer uses the word Giclee, they simply want to tell you that they offer high quality inkjet printing. We know all French words sound sexy and great, but since most people get confused by this word, we simply tell people that we make amazing high quality Fine Art Prints .
