What kind of printers and inks do you use?

How long has FinerWorks been in business?

Artists and photographers first began using FinerWorks in 1999 however, we official coined our company name as FinerWorks in 2003. We began with making prints exclusively on canvas but soon added fine art papers.

How can I ensure accuracy in my prints?

The best method for getting accurate prints is something called soft proofing. Soft proofing involves using a calibrated monitor and viewing your image with the color profiles assigned to them. For those who are unable to invest their time and funds on a professional calibration system, we recommend one of our calibration prints instead.

Should my image be in RGB or CMYK?

Your images should be in RGB mode. Images in CMYK color mode are more likely to experience noticeable color shifts which may result in a muted or washed out looking print.
