Prints

Purchasing a Print

Technical details about prints can be confusing, so here is some explanation. Basically, there are several different kind of prints:

• Silver Gelatin Limited Edition
• Archival Giclee Print
• Digital C-print

Silver Gelatin or Fiber Based prints , (Tirages Argentiques Barytées in French, Barietafdruk in Dutch) are the old fashioned black and white prints - as they have been made for photo lovers, collectors and museums over the last hundred years. It was actually the industry standard before inkjet print technology came around. Silver Gelatin prints are made in the darkroom from negatives by hand. Prints are developed, fixed and than washed for at least an hour and air dried. It is a cumbersome process that can take a day. Every print is unique and might have some imperfections like a speck of dust. Connoisseurs love the warmth, the depth and deep dark tones of the Silver Gelatin print. Since they are made in trays by hand, Silver Gelatin prints are normally not larger than 20 by 24 inch. (50 by 60 cm)

Archival Giclée prints are at the upper end of digital ink jet prints, using the latest in ink and paper technology. They are made from a digital file, which can be a digital photo or a negative that has been scanned. Archival Giclée prints are guaranteed to stay stable and not fade for at least 150 years. Over the last 10 years, they have become the standard in the art and gallery world. They are normally printed in a limited and numbered edition. Giclée prints can easily printed 40 by 60 inch (100 by 150 cm), even larger, depending on the size of the printer.

Digital C-print or Lambda prints refer to the process of printing: This is done in the traditional chemical process, the same way as color labs have been working over the last 30 years. The only difference is that the technology has become quite developed and that the paper used is archival quality. A digital C-prints or Lamba print is made from a digital file or digitalized negative by exposing the paper to sophisticated laser lights. Than the paper is developed, fixed and dried as usual. Digital C-prints can be printed up to 60 inch (150 cm ) wide and basically as long as the roll of paper is.
