What are Digital Art Prints?

There are “digital prints” and then there are “archival” and “digital fine art prints.” The distinction comes from the quality of the ink and paper used to produce the print.

Non-archival Prints:

Prints which are digitally produced with quality paper and inks are non-archival which means that they are equivalent to poster or photo quality. Their life span with proper care is around 10 years without possible fading and color shifting. These are in the general category of “posters” or “wall decor.” They are not fine art or archival prints. Well produced digital prints will be identical to the same image produced with archival materials. It will have a shorter life and a lower price.

Archival Quality Prints:

There are generally two methods of producing archival prints today; however technology is changing fast and new techniques and materials are constantly being developed.

LightJet technology, in many print shops, has replaced the “Iris-type” printers that are used to produce traditional giclee prints. Because LightJet doesn’t “spurt ink” like a giclee printer but uses laser light, it can not be called a giclee print. The papers and inks used have excellent color and sharpness and an archival life of 60 – 70+ years.
