The Herald of the Season

My artworks are scanned and printed by ACME et al in Steels Creek in the scenic Yarra Valley, Victoria. ACME et al have over 20 years of industry experience and use the giclée printing process with archival quality papers - creating faithful and long-lasting reproductions. The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is among their distinguished clientele.

The giclée printing process creates very high-quality prints that last for decades with minimal fading. It uses archival level pigment inks and papers which help to create faithful reproductions of original artworks. A wide variety of papers and materials (such as canvas) can be used in this process.

Hahnemühle German Etching is a traditional mould-made copperplate printing paper, complete with an inkjet coating designed especially for FineArt applications. The white art paper made from 100% alpha cellulose is characterised by its extraordinary velvety tactile feel and its fine, clearly defined felt structure. The unique surface texture adds a very special touch to images, showcasing them in all their splendour with impressive three-dimensional effect and depth. The premium matt inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with excellent reproduction of colour and detail, deep black and optimum contrasts. German Etching is acid- and lignin-free and meets the most exacting requirements in terms of age resistance. This heavyweight FineArt inkjet paper is one of the most popular papers for FineArt prints and art reproductions thanks to its characteristic tactile feel and surface texture. German Etching ® is a registered trademark in the US.

If you would prefer a different print size to those listed, custom sizing can be arranged through email. This also applies if you would prefer an image to be printed on canvas (unstretched). Contact me at info@robertkingdomart.com to discuss options.

 

It is helpful to note that the original sizes/dimensions of my artworks vary and this can impact how well the images translate across to different ratios of print/framing sizes. Original artworks that are smaller in size can only be enlarged so much before losing definition.

Prints will be mailed directly from ACME et al (in most cases) to the customer. The cost of postage is included within the overall price of the print for customers within Australia. An additional fee of $15.00 AUD will be required for international customers.

 

Prints will be sent directly to the customer by ACME et al within 2-3 weeks upon receiving an order within Australia and a little longer for overseas.
