What is a Digital Print?
A Digital Print in the simplest terms is any print made from the output of a computer-generated image and then printed from a computer.
Many artists and photographers use ink-jet printers as an alternative to printmaking and the traditional darkroom for creating original artworks.
The term here in this site is used to describe works created on a high-resolution, large-format ink-jet printer with fade-resistant pigment-based inks and archival papers.
At this time there are many terms in use to describe the various process of digital art making. The techniques are new and ever changing, which makes for exciting art, but uncertain vocabulary.
Another term for digital prints in common use is “digital pigment print”, this term means any digital print made on any ink-jet printer using pigment (archival) inks. The term “digital pigment print” while clunky is accurate and can be applied to Miller’s work.
A Digital Print is sometimes called a Giclée print. But a Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay or sometimes jee-clay), is specific to prints made on "Iris printers" created in the early 1990s on the Scitex "Iris Model Four" colour drum piezo-head inkjet, and should only be used in relation to those type of prints.
Materials used to make Digital Prints:
Epson Enhanced Matte Paper is a heavyweight paper with a white base, which accentuates highlights, and has a flat matte finish.
The papers used are made to work with the Epson inks creating an image that is stable in average room conditions for over 100 years.
Epson’sUltraChrome™ Inks1, creating a Light-fastness ratings of around 76-100 years under glass.
The image stability of pigment printing is very stable and archival. Pigment inks excel in permanence over archival dye-based ink.
Lightfastness ratings are based on accelerated testing of prints displayed indoors and under glass. It refers to the amount of time it takes for noticeable fading to occur in a print due to light.
Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc.2 is an independent laboratory that performs lightfastness tests by interpolating data from high-intensity lighting and other techniques to project print longevity.
