The Difference Between Photography Prints & Fine Art Prints

Understanding the difference between photography prints and fine art prints is crucial for artists and photographers. Photography prints involve transforming digital files into physical prints using specific printing processes. There are different types of photography prints, including paper, metal, and canvas. On the other hand, fine art prints are made with high-quality inkjet printers and materials to achieve sophisticated illustrations. Fine art prints encompass various printmaking techniques, such as engraving, etching, woodcut, lithography, and digital printing. The materials used in fine art prints, including fine art paper, are carefully chosen to ensure longevity and quality. The Stackhouse offers professional printing services to help artists and photographers showcase their work at its best.
