Q: What kind of products do you use?
A: Pinup World Art uses a variety of media based on customer price point and market quality requirements. We use canvas products as well as fine art paper products to produce our reproductions and rely on a suite of products (ink, media, and coating). These products have been thoroughly tested at our location to ensure the finished product we provide to our customers is optimized for maximum image quality and longevity.

Q: Why would an artist mount to board instead of stretching a piece?
A: Mounting to board has some clear advantages when compared to stretching a canvas print. A mounted piece is much easier to store, handle, and ship because the back side of the canvas is flat against the mounting surface while stretched canvas prints are like a drum, supported only along the outside with an exposed back side. Because this backside is exposed it can be more easily damaged and requires more space to ship and, as a result, is generally more expensive to ship because of dimensional weight. Mounting also requires less excess canvas than what is necessary in stretched pieces, therefore, allowing more printable area on a sheet.

Q: What does Giclee mean?
A: Strictly speaking it comes from a French word that means “a spurt” or “a spray”. It is commonly used to refer to high end fine art digital reproductions.

Q: What is the longevity of your product?
A: The equation that dictates how long a product will last has many variables including the ink used, substrate printed on, top coating used (if any), and the environment(s) the end product is exposed to. We produce products that range in longevity from 30 years to hundreds of years under normal conditions.

Q: Do you use archival quality products?
A: Pinup World Art only uses the best of archival materials in the manufacturing of all of our products.

Our substrates, inks, and coatings have been tested and proven to be compatible with one another.
