At LoveGamut we know how important it is for the artist to get the desired print, mounted on the chosen support and ready to be admired by the public or evaluated in a competition.
And it is for this reason that, helped by many years of experience in the field of photography and especially photographic printing, we have made available to customers who buy online a sophisticated system of customization of the work that provides numerous choices, so as to be able to configure not only the print but also the support to match them.
Customizations concern the type of printing ink, the size, the possibility of adding a white border around the print, choose if you want the application of the protective fine art, if you want mounting on the panel. The price is automatically updated consistent with the choices made.
Printing Type
You can choose between two types of printing: color pigments and carbon pigments.
Color pigment printing uses Epson HDR’s eleven inks.
Carbon pigment printing uses inks composed of one full black cartridger and six levels of gray to achieve the purest black and white.
Image Size
You can choose the dimensions of the fine art giclée print of the illustrations from a minimum of 20×30 cm, corresponding to about one A4 sheet, to a maximum of cm100x100.
If you need a bigger size, please contact us.
White Padding
You can choose to add a white border around the image you want to print. The border is added to the printed part and this means that, for example, by adding 3cm of edge to a print of cm20x30, I will get a final format of cm26x36.
Fine Art Protective Layer
You can choose to apply a protective to the print. It is a completely invisible layer that aims to bind the pigments of the ink and make the image more durable over time. The protective is not naturally a glass and therefore does not protect against blows and scratches.
File to be printed
We need to get the filename to be printed; if you need to print more the a file on one single sheet, the filenames.
It is importanto to indicate their specific names that give us the opportunity to easily recognize them without confusing them. So please don’t input something lile (e.g.) DSC_0641.tif; input instead filenames with the photographer surname and progressive numbering or the name of the work.
Panel mounting
You can customize the panel on which LoveGamut will mount the print. The available and most used panels are of three types: sandwich pvc, two PVC “skins” and an intern layer of extruded expanded polystyrene, very light, whose thickness varies from 10 to 20mm; the Forex® 3A Composites that we supply in the 10mm version and the DiBond®, also of the German 3A Composites, which we supply in the 3mm version. LoveGamut’s choices on available thicknesses are based on the rigidity of the panels.
Each panel has its own accessories: the sandwich can be edged and supplied with the hanger; the Forex® with hangers while the DiBond® can be supplied with two aluminum profiles glued to the back, suitable for giving rigidity to the panel and hanging it.
