The Tools and Papers We Use (And Why)

At Kex Art, we are committed to creating high-quality AI-generated art prints and custom pieces. Our dedication to quality extends to the materials and processes we use. We believe in transparency, so we want to share with you the tools and papers we use and why they matter for producing exceptional AI-generated art.

Giclée Printing

Giclée printing is at the heart of our production process. This technique is renowned for its ability to produce high-resolution, detailed prints that capture the nuances of digital artwork. Here’s why we choose giclée printing:

  • Precision and Detail: Giclée printers use microscopic droplets of ink to reproduce artwork with incredible precision. This ensures that every detail of our AI-generated pieces is faithfully captured.
  • Vibrant Colors: The wide color gamut of giclée printing allows us to reproduce the vibrant and varied colors of our digital artworks. This results in prints that are as vivid and striking as the original files.
  • Longevity: Giclée prints are known for their durability. The inks used are archival quality, meaning they resist fading and discoloration over time, ensuring your artwork remains as vibrant as the day you bought it.

Cotton-Rag Paper

For those who prefer a more traditional feel, we offer prints on cotton-rag paper. This choice is not just about aesthetics; it’s about quality and sustainability:

  • Texture and Feel: Cotton-rag paper has a unique texture that adds depth and character to the print. It provides a tactile experience that enhances the appreciation of the artwork.
  • Archival Quality: Made from 100% cotton fibers, this paper is acid-free and lignin-free, which means it won’t yellow or deteriorate over time. This ensures the longevity of your print.
  • Eco-Friendly: Cotton-rag paper is a sustainable choice. It is made from recycled materials and is fully biodegradable, aligning with our commitment to environmentally responsible practices.

Pigment Inks

The type of ink used in printing is crucial for the quality and longevity of the final product. We use pigment inks for the following reasons:

  • Color Stability: Pigment inks contain particles that sit on the surface of the paper, providing excellent color stability and resistance to fading. This ensures that your print maintains its original colors for decades.
  • Water Resistance: These inks are also water-resistant, which adds to the durability of the print and protects it from accidental spills or moisture.
  • Vibrant and Consistent: Pigment inks offer a wide range of colors and maintain consistency across different prints, ensuring that every piece is as vibrant and true to the original as possible.

Gallery Canvas

For a more classic and artistic look, we offer prints on gallery canvas. This option is perfect for those who want to display their AI-generated art in a way that mimics traditional paintings:

  • Texture and Depth: The canvas material adds a three-dimensional quality to the print, giving it a rich, painterly feel. This is particularly appealing for artworks that benefit from a more traditional presentation.
  • Durability: Our gallery canvas prints are stretched over wooden frames and coated with a protective layer, making them resistant to wear and tear. This ensures that your artwork remains in pristine condition for years to come.
  • Versatility: Gallery canvas prints are easy to hang and can be framed or left as-is, providing flexibility in how you choose to display your art.

Colour Management

Accurate color reproduction is essential for maintaining the integrity of our AI-generated art. We employ rigorous color management practices to ensure that the colors in our prints match the original digital files:

  • Calibrated Monitors: Our monitors are calibrated regularly to ensure that what we see on screen is an accurate representation of the final print.
  • Color Profiles: We use specific color profiles for each type of paper and canvas to maintain consistency and accuracy in color reproduction.
  • Proofing: Before printing, we create proofs to verify that the colors are correct and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the highest quality.

At Kex Art, we are passionate about delivering art that meets the highest standards. By choosing the best tools and materials, we ensure that our AI-generated prints are not only beautiful but also durable and true to the original vision.
