The NDjin Printing Process

The Art of Printing

Crafting Masterpieces on Paper

At NDjin Gallery, we believe that the physical medium is as important as the art itself. The choice of paper and printing technique is critical in bringing out the essence of each piece, preserving its detail, vibrancy, and longevity. Printing is not just a technical step; it’s an art form—a final brushstroke that completes the story of the artwork.

Why Print Quality Matters

Every print that leaves NDjin Gallery is a reflection of our commitment to excellence. By using the finest professional printing techniques - Giclée and C-Type printing - we ensure that each piece not only looks stunning but also lasts a lifetime. These processes:

  • Capture Detail and Colour Accuracy: Advanced technologies ensure every hue, gradient, and texture is faithfully reproduced.
  • Offer Archival Quality: The materials we use are designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring your artwork remains vibrant for decades.
  • Exude Professionalism: From the smoothest tones to the boldest contrasts, our printing elevates every piece to gallery-quality standards.

Our Expertise in Choosing the Perfect Match

At NDjin Gallery, each piece is carefully paired with the printing process and paper that best complements its unique style and character.

Our expertise in this selection ensures that the artwork’s emotion, story, and detail are fully realised in its physical form.

Whether it’s the subtle textures of a matte Giclée paper or the dramatic vibrancy of a glossy C-Type print, the final result is always thoughtfully tailored to the artwork itself.

Your Preferences Matter

We understand that personal taste plays an essential role in art. While we meticulously select the best paper and printing technique for each piece, we also welcome custom requests. If you have a specific preference for a different printing method or paper type, we’re happy to accommodate your vision through a custom order.
