Museum quality printing

Epson SC-P20000 printer

Printing:
Wilcovak in Hoogeveen, specialised in fine art printing, produces the high-quality prints.

They write about it:
Commissioned by artists and galleries, the prints/works are often shown at art fairs, both national (e.g. PAN Amsterdam, ART Rotterdam, Unseen) and international (e.g. Photo London, Paris Photo and Art Basel and Art Miami).
Erwin Olaf has had his photographs printed by Wilcovak, among others.

Quality of the prints:
The prints are of high museum quality. Wilcovak in Hoogeveen delivers these high-quality prints using the Epson SC-P20000 full-colour printer. The Canson Infinity Archival Pigment Print is printed on Platine Fibre RAG paper. This paper is 100% cotton, acid-free and contains no optical brighteners that can discolour over time. The colour fastness of the works is guaranteed for 200 years.

Finishing:
These prints are then directly mounted onto special museum-quality, UV-resistant, anti-reflective acrylic glass (TruLife Diasec). Wilcovak is the importer of this American product.

Of the acrylic glass, Wilcovak says:
TruLifeTM offers a very high level of UV protection. TruVue® is known for its Museumglass® for framing. This has been available as Optium Acrylic Plexiglas for some time, and now as TruLifeTM for Diasec® because the material is coated on one side only. The uncoated side is therefore suitable for liquid Diasec® bonding.

Unique combination.

Diasec® processors recommend TruLifeTM as their preferred medium. Because the image is bonded in contact with the Plexiglas, there is already a big advantage over traditional framing. The combination of TruLifeTM and Diasec® produces an image that is even more brilliant than you are used to.
