Fine art inkjet printing at FRAMEWERK is integrated directly into the framing workflow, allowing prints to be produced with the final framed presentation in mind. This approach ensures visual precision, material compatibility, and long-term stability while reducing handoffs, simplifying decisions, and minimizing risk.
For clients, this integration provides practical value. Adjustments or reprints can be handled efficiently in-house without additional transport or third-party liability, maintaining a high level of quality control without the added cost typically associated with outsourcing.
FRAMEWERK produces photographic and fine art prints up to 24 inches wide, with length determined by the artwork and material. For larger formats, we coordinate with trusted local print partners and oversee production to ensure consistency with the framing approach. In-house printing is offered selectively for framing clients.
All printing is performed using the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 with LUCIA PRO II pigment inks, offering exceptional color gamut, black density, surface uniformity, and improved scratch resistance, with manufacturer-rated longevity of up to 200 years under controlled display conditions.
Prints are produced on a carefully selected range of archival, museum-grade papers, including 100% cotton rag and fiber-based materials. Whenever feasible, printing is done on sheet stock rather than roll paper to ensure lasting flatness for exhibition-quality presentation. Papers without optical brighteners are preferred when possible for color consistency and long-term stability. Primary papers include those from Canson, including Arches BFK Rives, as well as Somerset Velvet and other heritage papers selected to suit the intent of the work.
FRAMEWERK’s printing practice is informed by deep technical and artistic experience. The founder holds a BFA and MFA in painting and printmaking, and previously worked for Jack Duganne of Duganne Atelier, originator of the term giclée, during the formative years of fine art inkjet printing. He later founded Poehlman Press in Los Angeles, operating a respected printmaking studio serving artists, photographers, and art consultants. This background informs a rigorous understanding of materials, processes, and long-term performance, particularly in color accuracy, tonal control, surface behavior, durability, and consistency.
