fineartpub.com | About the Prints: "Our Fine Art Prints are printed on acid-free, cotton-based paper from Canson. We use Canson RAG Photografique 310g, which is a natural, white, extra smooth paper, perfect for both color and black and white photographs. We use water-based archival ink to guarantee that your prints last a lifetime without fading or loss of color. The prints are available in two papersizes: A3+ 48,3 x 32,9 cm and A2 59,4 x 42 cm; and all prints have a 1 inch white border (2,54 cm) for future framing and matting.

Rag Photographique is a 100% cotton museum grade white Fine Art and photo paper. The exceptional smooth white tone is achieved during manufacturing by introducing natural minerals to the process. It has been developed to address the need for continued longevity requirements in the Digital Fine Art market.

Rag Photographique offers a unique extra smooth surface with a sensual feel. It also provides one of the highest achievable Dmax currently available on the market, making it ideal for fine art photography as well as fine art printmaking.

All prints are printed at Digital Design Österlenin Sweden, a certified Digigraphie Lab, on Epson Stulys Pro 9900 printers. With this printer and the Canson RAG paper, the prints are guaranteed to last for at least 69 years before noticeable fading or changes in  color balance if framed under normal glass. If you use UV-protcted glass the print will last for more than 120 years. For more details about testing papers see
