Deliver Beautiful Fine Art Prints to Your Clients With Zno

The photo shoot has ended and you are now finished with the editing of the images. What are you going to do next? You could deliver the images to your clients digitally, which can feel soulless, or you can go that extra mile and deliver beautiful fine art prints to your clients. In this article, I will show you how.

With Zno's Fine Art Prints, the process could not be easier. The prints Zno use are Giclée, which is a fine art print created by using a specialized high-resolution inkjet printer. These prints are printed with high-quality archival pigment-based inks using a 12-color process to output ultra-high-resolution images. 

Simply put, these are very high-quality prints and are available at an affordable price, which you can deliver to your clients. You can offer prints as a paid additional service or even as part of your main package once you factor in the costs. The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless.

Luxury Papers

The type of papers you use for prints can really add extra quality, as the different thicknesses and textures available can suit many different purposes and applications. The art papers used by Zno come from the German state of Saxony, where it has passed the museum collection level ISO9706 testing standard and received the prestigious International Forest Stewardship Council FSC certification. 

Giclée prints are suited for photos that prioritize natural looking colors, smooth skin tones, and details in shadows. Giclée papers are also rated to last up to 100 years. Another key benefit that can be used as a selling point is Giclée photo papers do not have gelatin content derived from animals and therefore can be considered vegan-friendly.

You can choose from Art, Canvas, Ivory, and Pearlescent papers, with each paper offering different aesthetics to your images. The four papers are made from wood pulp and are considered archival grade. The papers are ISO9706 tested and acid- and lignin-free.

Art

The Art paper is a 155# (230 gsm) with a low-sheen, matte coating. The paper uses an optical brightening agent (OBA) to create a cooler tonality that results in a whiter white point. 

Canvas

The Canvas paper is 155# (230gsm) with a low-sheen, matte coating. This paper has a raised texture that is inviting to touch. 

Ivory

The Ivory paper is also 155# (230 gsm) with a low-sheen, matte coating. This paper has a warmer tonality than the others.
