Original Digigraph Print
Artist : James Morton
We produce our own Fine Art Giclée prints at the Morton Arts Studio in Massachusetts, USA. Each one is hand signed and titled and numbered as part of a Limited Edition. The prints are made with EPSON Archival Ultrachrome Pigmented Inks that have superior resistance to water, fading and smudging. Instructions are also provided, regarding the proper care of the prints to provide for their longevity.
Paper Prints are produced on Textured Fine Art Paper : Mould-made, cold press, watercolor fine art paper made of 100% cotton linters with traditional matte finish. This fine art paper is acid-free and lignin-free which results in a high archival quality and long-term fade resistance. Basis Weight: 285 gsm (medium texture) All Fine Art Paper Prints include 2 inch margin of paper around the image.
Fine Art Paper Prints are not framed and ship rolled in a tube.
All Canvas Prints are Gallery Wrapped, Stretched on Standard Stretcher Bars (3/4" inches deep) with Image Wrapped Edges . Canvas Prints arrive Ready to Hang no framing necessary.
Canvas prints are produced on a Fine Art museum grade natural white canvas made of 2:1 poly/cotton blend with satin finish. This fine art canvas is acid-free which results in a high archival quality and long-term fade resistance. All canvas prints are coated with a UV protective Satin Finish (flexible water-based acrylic coating). Canvas Prints do not need to be placed under glass. The polymer coating protects the print from moisture, light, humidity and atmospheric contaminants. Coated canvas prints are washable with a soft cloth (microfiber) lightly dampened with water.

The Original Digigraph Prints are a combination of numerous digital media. I do not use any “apps” to make these works . These are a result of techniques I have been developing over the past 15 years.
The Digigraph technique begins with making a specially prepared collage of my own digital photographs. Once satisfied with the composition of these photos, the image and color is digitally transformed. The contours shadows and texture are also changed to suit the overall composition; making some images come forward and others recede. Transparent colors and layers are added to create visual luminosity and depth. Lastly, hand-directed digital painting is added.
There is currently no distinct name for digitally based Fine Art or Art made through the use of digital tools and software on a computer. The name Digigraphy or "Digigraphie" is one term referenced more frequently in Europe to define high quality digitally based fine art prints created with an Epson printer and Giclée Printmaking.
My Digigraphs take the finished physical from of a high resolution Giclée Print and are not a "copy" or "reproduction" of an original painting or drawing etc. Each Digigraph is considered an "original print" similar to Fine Art traditional printmaking.
Currently, I am making Original Digigraph Prints up to 44 inches in height and at almost any length using Fine Art Watercolor Papers and Canvas.
