HANDLING FINE ART COTTON RAGOne of the most overlooked parts of fine art printing is proper handling of the ma-terials. Inkjet coated cotton rag can be easily damaged or compromised during the production process. Proper handling protects the integrity of the material and ensures success from start to finish. Here are some tips to improve print quality by handling fine art media properly.

AVOID CONTAMINATIONElements in the print environment, such as dust and debris, can affect the media when it is stored uncovered for long pe-riods of time. Dusty AC vents, fan blades or ceilings, and dirty floors only make the problem worse. It’s best practice to keep media inside the protective plastic sleeve and stored back inside the box until your ready to print on it.

It only takes one smudge or finger print to ruin a masterpiece. It’s easy for oil and dirt to transfer from your hands onto the media both before and after printing. Avoid using your bare hands and follow the simple rule of only holding the media by the edges. Wear white cotton gloves to handle the print and remove them if you need to do anything else. You could contaminate the gloves if you keep them on while touching other things in the print environment.

AVOID DAMAGEDamage can occur to the media when it is mishandled during printer loading or carrying the final print. Thinner media types and larger prints are more suscep-tible to this issue. Improper handling can cause creases or dents on the surface and result in a reprint. Take special care when loading or carrying fine art media by holding it along the edge and avoiding

anything that could damage the surface.

Most inkjet materials, but certainly ink-jet coated fine art rag and canvas, are susceptible to abrasions and scuffing that can ruin a print. There are many brands, varieties and finishes of high-quality pro-tective coatings than can be applied with a spray or brush to protect a print, that is not going to be framed, from scuffs or abrasions.

CONTROL CLIMATE Inkjet coated cotton rag may develop a curl when exposed to changes in tem-perature and humidity. The amount of curl that occurs will vary depending on the print environment and the type of media. Curl can happen relatively fast and my cause expensive head-strikes if left unattended. It’s best practice to store fine art media in the print environment around 68ºF at 50-60% relative humidity to prevent media curl.

Handling fine art media properly results in less damaged and wasted material. It helps improve print quality and keeps your costs under control. The examples provided here may seem small, but they add up and effect print quality and profit.

COLOR PROFILESAn ICC profile is a mathematical repre-sentation of the color capabilities for an output device like your printer or monitor. A proper ICC profile allows you to accu-rately simulate the color capabilities of your printer on a computer monitor. It’s not a perfect simulation, but it will provide an approximate match between the final print and the image on your monitor.

Museo has an extensive library of ICC profiles for the most common printers in

the fine art market. We are constantly working to expand our library to help ensure you create the best color output possible.

RENDERING INTENTWhich intent should you choose for print-ing fine art? There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The rendering intent determines which alternate color will be chosen if a certain color in the image can’t be reproduced by the printer, ink, and paper. There are four different rendering intents: “Absolute Colorimet-ric”, “Relative Colorimetric”, “Perceptual Intent” and “Saturation Intent”. Each rendering intent handles the replacement a little differently.

Museo recommends choosing “Absolute Colorimetric” in order to produce the most accurate image colors, but only if your printer has an ink set with more than ten colors. Choose “Perceptual Intent” if you have a printer with less than ten colors and you would like satisfactory results.

PRINTER CALIBRATION & PROFILINGCalibrating your printer is the best way to keep your color output accurate. This step involves printing color targets, setting ink limits, scanning the targets and saving them in the computer. Some printers today can do this step automati-cally or at least have incorporated these scanning devices into the printer itself. Check your printer specifications and instructions to confirm what is needed to perform a calibration.

While profiling is much easier today than a few years ago, it is still a complicated process that is often described as an art rather than a science. Printer profiling creates the final ICC profile to determine

how the device produces color and the accuracy of the colors. This step involves printing a color target with a high num-ber of colored patches. The patches are scanned with a special device, processed in the computer and saved in a file.

Museo suggests you search our exten-sive profile library or talk to our color ex-perts if you are going to explore creating profiles yourself.

OBA’S. YES OR NO?Museo inkjet coated rag has always focused on archivability as much as quality. The original Museo line does not use optical brightening agents (OBA’s) to increase the perceived “whiteness” of the paper. The award winning Museo coatings deliver exceptional color out-put without the need for OBA’s. OBA’s work by absorbing UV light and emitting visible light in the blue/white range of the color spectrum. This can make the paper seem incredibly white through a process called fluorescence. OBA’s can pose a threat to the integrity and longevity of the fine art print because the colors will shift and the media will decompose over time.

New Museo Textured Rag “VIVID” follows in the proud tradition of Museo with a modern update. Starting with the same delightfully textured, mould-made paper as standard Museo Textured Rag, Museo Textured Rag “VIVID”, features a breakthrough new coating technology that offers the perfect balance between “bright white” and archival. With just enough optical brightener to push the brightness and whiteness levels into a new “vivid” color space without creating significant risk of color shift and archival concerns, New Museo Textured Rag “VIVID” may just be the perfect balance.
