We'll see what happens. I'll let you know.

Very happe with it. It's a giclee as long as you use an inkjet. You could get the print itself for a lot less but keeping it in a tube isn't really the same

There's always thumb thacks.

Unpackaging it by yourself is impossible, I guess that's obvious.

I see your point. If the dots were in the white areas, I would never have noticed them. I always have an "internal" debate with myself: "Can this be justified?". Sometimes there's a good reason for imperfections, but most of the times that isn't the case.

Let's say somethings is made out of wood, stone fx.. It's a natural material, so there's bound to be imperfections. An actual painting will have imperfections too.

But a print made using the best paper, inks, technique at this price point should have no imperfections. A standard frame made of wood might have imperfections, but with diasec/epoxy there's no such thing. You can actually reheat the epoxy if the piece is scratched.

I wanted to talk a little about the gloss process.

C&B uses "Hahnem?hle FineArt Photo Rag Bright White 310gr" (http://www.hahnemuehle.com/media/pho...hite_rev02.pdf). It's a very high quality paper that I would say is heavily textured. I had a crop sent of "The Team" before the actual order was placed; in my opinion the colors were a little dull and the obvious texturing of the paper annoyed me a little.

The same texturing can be seen on some of the AC-giclees.




I've seen this texturing on a lot og high quality paper. Does anyone know if there's a abvious reason for this?

Both the gloss and diasec-process make the works seem smooth. I guess the gel or epoxy fills out the small "gaps" in the paper.
