Review Summary
What sets the PremierArt Smooth Fine Art paper apart is its exceptional quality and durability, designed specifically for the discerning artist and photographer seeking a top-tier printing medium. Crafted using a meticulous hot press mold process, this paper boasts a supremely smooth, double-sided matte surface that is ideal for both photography and fine art reproductions. The ultra-fine surface texture not only enhances the visual appeal of printed images but also ensures precision and depth in every print.
The high-resolution inkjet coating on this paper is noteworthy for its outstanding D-Max, which significantly broadens the tonal range, delivering a richer and more vibrant color gamut than other museum-grade rag papers. Made from 100% cotton, this paper is acid-free, ensuring that each print remains pristine and untarnished over time. The natural composition of the paper, free from any optical brightening agents (OBAs), guarantees that the colors and tones of your prints remain consistent and true-to-life for years to come, making it an ideal choice for art reproductions and fine art photography where longevity and image permanence are paramount.
This museum-grade paper is not only acid and lignin-free but also comes with added buffering for enhanced stability, meeting the rigorous Library of Congress criteria for archival papers. The PremierArt Smooth Fine Art paper's commitment to preservation is evident in its engineered stability, from its 100% cotton base to the alkaline buffering and the acid-free coating, bringing a new level of permanence to the digital art world.
For optimal preservation of your artwork, it is recommended that prints on this paper be framed under glass or sealed with a protective coating. PremierArt has developed a proprietary protective spray, formulated specifically for use with PremierArt papers. This spray, known as Print Shield, not only extends the life of the image significantly but also provides robust protection against physical abrasions and scuffing. Independent testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) has confirmed that Print Shield substantially enhances the Image Permanence Ratings of the media it is applied to.
In summary, the PremierArt Smooth Fine Art paper is a superior choice for artists and photographers who demand the highest quality and longevity from their printed works. Its unparalleled smoothness, color fidelity, and archival stability make it a standout product in the realm of fine art printing.
