Fine Art

Giclée printing has a style and finesse that sets it apart completely from photographic papers in the look and feel of the finished prints and our Fine Art Prints are widely recognised as the very best in the industry. Our lab has a long history of exceptional print quality and industry leading fine art options with each page of your Fine Art albums using the exact same archival papers and Giclee printing as if it was to be displayed in a gallery.

Our Fine Art prints are produced using only the very latest professional Giclee 12 colour printers with UV resistant, archival inks. After printing each individual spread is inspected by our colour technicians one at a time before it is creased and bound within your album.

Velvet

Velvet

Fuji Velvet’s coating has a zero-reflective top layer which creates a stunningly muted and deep-matte effect whilst protecting the print from fingerprints much more than standard photographic or Fine Art papers. This makes it perfect for albums which are likely to be handled and images that require no shine or reflections at all.

This paper offers a very soft, sensual feel and touch, with deep, beautiful colour representation. As a professional photographer you can present your photos in a creative and innovative way – this paper turns your photos into fine art.

HD Maxima

HD Maxima

Fuji HD Maxima has been specially designed for outstanding high-end prints. The high definition precision with which your images details are reproduced is clear to see, even in the darkest, most shadow rich areas of your photo. The paper boasts the deepest blacks available on the market along with cleaner, more distinct images with a perfect, natural whiteness.

Lustre

Lustre

A stunning, natural photographic finish with subtle colours and a slightly stippled texture. The Lustre option is a very versatile paper, working well with all photographic images.

Beautiful colour representation and incredibly detailed in highlights and shadow areas. Due to its lack of a sheen (unlike Gloss Papers) it makes the perfect choice for album prints as it avoids any additional glare and is less easily marked by fingerprints.
