Choosing a Paper for Your Art Prints

“I need to print some of my work but don’t know what paper to choose.” This is a common question people have when first embarking on giclee printing. You tool may be asking yourself this if are planning on using FinerWorks to print your images for the first time.

Gloss vs. Matte Canvas

One of the most asked questions we receive is it better to print on gloss or matte canvas. Back when we first started printing canvas there were really only those two choices. Then we always recommended ordering on a gloss canvas for reasons of the added complication of applying a protective coating. On matte it would have to be applied very lightly on the or else the surface would start to develop a satin or even glossy appearance.
