Questions about Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag Prints

Why would you select Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag 310gsm?2021-03-22T12:03:19+11:00

This slightly textured stock is one of our most popular choices. The traditional watercolour look and feel in conjunction with pristine imaging by Epson pigment printers makes this an outstanding paper. Using a cotton rag stock like this from Ilford also guarantees your artwork first class longevity, which is respected by art galleries and museums alike.

Why use cotton gloves?2021-04-07T17:13:33+10:00

If you have washed your hands and trust yourself only to hold the absolute edges of the print then there is no need for gloves. The ink surface is fragile and should be kept free from unnecessary contaminants to keep its utmost archival integrity.

Is this stock environmentally sustainable?2021-04-07T17:13:26+10:00

Cotton rags stocks are made from leftovers from other manufacturing and you can read more about this here.

Can you send me a sample?2021-06-08T16:48:51+10:00

As we do not have a minimum order it it is better to get a small test print done. Not only do you get to see the stock but also how your own artwork looks in print. In fact we always recommend running a test print (proof) if you are new to printing. Please be aware that your screen is not a representation of how your file will print unless you have a high-end calibrated screen. Even so, nothing beats printing a test print (a proof) to perfect your final prints.

How does the paper compare with other fine art stocks?2021-04-12T17:40:36+10:00

All our fine art stocks have similar archival properties and they will all do an equally good job with imaging. The deciding factor is often familiarity with a stock and an artist’s preference for a particular surface finish and look, especially so when printing onto canvas.

Sustainability – Minimising our Impact

We craft prints made to last a lifetime, not to be thrown away, using Cotton Rag paper made from repurposed cotton linters and cloth offcuts that would otherwise go to landfill. We print using chemical-free, water-based pigment Epson printers for richer, longer-lasting colour without heavy metals. Our specially designed packaging is made in-house from recyclable, non-bleached materials, cutting waste and transport damage along the way.

PosterFactory Print+Frame Classic

Give your Art the Frame it Deserves

As makers of museum-grade prints, we don’t stop at the paper, we also craft an extensive range of Print+Frame options to suit every image, from warm timber surrounds to sleek, minimal metal rims. Every frame is expertly made in-house, built to stay strong, resist flexing or sagging, and stay light enough to hang with ease.
