FINE ART PRINTING
Epson Fine Art Papers
Proper storage is crucial to extending
the life of your fine art prints. One easy
way to protect your artwork is to place tissue
between your finished prints. This will prevent
any rubbing or scuffing from adjacent prints.
Also be sure to save the packaging your
paper comes in. It makes a great
intermediate storage solution.
TechTip
The Next Level in Fine Art Printing and Reproduction
Image quality and longevity. They’re the two most important factors
when it comes to creating sellable fine art prints. And prints created
using Epson Stylus
®
Pro fine art printers with Epson UltraChrome K3
inks offer the best of both. The prints produced by these unique
archival printers offer fine artists and art buyers outstanding archival
image quality. And they give fine art sellers a unique opportunity to
enhance their business by offering buyers the confidence of superior
fine art prints with up to 80 years’ lightfastness.
Exceptional Archivability and Durability
Whether it’s original art, art reproductions, or limited-edition art, it is
imperative for fine art prints to be archival. And that’s where Epson
fine art printers excel. The combination of our exclusive Epson
UltraChrome K3 inks and specially designed Epson archival media
ensures prints are color-stable right out of the printer and resist fading
for over 80 years
— an important selling point for fine art buyers.
Plus, they offer excellent smudge-, scratch- and water-resistance for
unmatched durability. The result? Prints that start out looking
spectacular and stay that way for generations. (For current print
permanence ratings on select Epson professional inks and media, visit

Spectacular Image Quality and
True-to-Life Color Reproduction
Compare a print from an Epson Stylus Pro fine art printer to the
original artwork. You’ll find the most intricate details and subtle
textures — right down to the shadows within individual brushstrokes
— are beautifully captured. And, while the image quality is impressive,
the color reproduction may be even more so. Epson UltraChrome K3
inks with high-density pigments and three levels of black offer a wider
color gamut, to reproduce colors with exceptional richness and
accuracy. And they deliver consistent, repeatable color, print after
print. So your art is always reproduced with the highest level of quality.
New Opportunities
While Epson Stylus Pro printers are redefining fine art printing,
they’re also redefining the fine art business by enabling you to offer
your customers amazing fine art originals and reproductions that last
for generations. Their remarkable image quality will satisfy even the
most discriminating buyer. And their superior durability and longevity
can result in more sales and increase both sale and resale values.
