All of the paper and canvases used in printing the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection is acid free, meaning it won’t break down and will stand the test of time. Selecting the right paper for each work can come from a variety of factors, such as the tooth of the material and how printing looks on it, the fibers and edge of the material, and simply what works best with the specific subject matter and size of the artwork.
Somerset paper is a traditional mould-made paper produced in England, renowned for its luxurious texture and durability. Made from 100% cotton, it is acid-free and buffered, making it ideal for archival-quality fine art printing. Its soft, velvet-like surface provides excellent ink retention and tonal range, especially in printmaking techniques like etching, lithography, and photogravure. Somerset is a popular choice for giclée printing, as it preserves the subtle gradations and details of high-resolution digital artwork. The paper’s weight and texture give it a tactile, museum-quality feel, and it resists yellowing or degradation over time. Its deckled edges also lend an elegant, handmade look, making it a favorite among contemporary artists and printmakers seeking timeless, heirloom presentation.
Coventry Rag is a premium, 100% cotton rag paper known for its smooth surface, durability, and print-friendly characteristics. Made in the USA, it is both acid- and lignin-free, making it an excellent archival substrate for fine art prints, serigraphy, screen printing, and digital giclée printing. Its smooth yet toothy texture holds ink and pigment beautifully, offering sharp detail while still maintaining a warm, organic feel. Coventry Rag is prized for its softness and flexibility without compromising strength. It is available in different weights, typically 290–320 gsm, and is often selected for projects requiring long-term preservation. Because it is internally sized and has minimal surface sizing, it allows for deep pigment absorption and consistent color density, making it a go-to for artists wanting a balance of fine detail and a traditional paper feel.
Canvas, typically made from cotton or linen, is a woven fabric used for both original artworks and fine art reproductions. For printing, inkjet or giclée canvas is coated with a receptive layer to absorb pigment ink and produce rich, vibrant color with exceptional detail. It is favored for its durability, texture, and the way it mimics original oil paintings. Archival-quality printing canvas is acid-free and often has a matte, satin, or gloss finish depending on the desired aesthetic. After printing, canvases can be stretched over wooden frames or gallery-wrapped, making them ready to hang without additional framing. Canvas is especially popular for reproducing paintings, photography, and contemporary digital art, offering a professional, tactile surface that enhances the visual impact and gives prints a physical presence often missing from paper-based media.
Selecting the right printing process for the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection depends on the chosen paper or canvas medium, intended presentation, and archival goals. Pigment printing and Giclée (a subset of pigment printing) are ideal for reproducing digital art or paintings with exceptional detail, vibrant color, and long-lasting archival quality on fine papers or canvas. These methods are especially suited for limited editions and museum-grade work. Serigraph, or screen printing, offers a more hands-on approach, applying individual layers of ink to create rich, tactile prints with bold color and subtle variations. At the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection we often choose based on the desired aesthetic, texture, and degree of craftsmanship involved in each technique.
Pigment printing offers unmatched longevity and color fidelity, making it a top choice for museum-quality reproductions. Using pigment-based inks that rest on the surface of the paper, this process delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and crisp detail — all while ensuring your artwork resists fading for over a century. Ideal for photography and digital art, pigment printing transforms your vision into a lasting heirloom. Whether printed on fine art paper or canvas, each piece is created with precision and care, preserving the integrity of your original work.
Fine art pigment printing — also known as giclée — is the gold standard in archival art reproduction. This technique uses ultra-fine pigment inks on museum-grade, acid-free papers or canvas, ensuring exceptional detail, color accuracy, and longevity. Perfect for limited edition prints or faithful reproductions of original artwork, giclée printing captures every nuance — from delicate brushstrokes to subtle tonal shifts. The result is a collectible, gallery-quality print that stands the test of time while honoring the artist’s original intent.
Serigraphy, or silkscreen printing, brings bold design and artisanal craftsmanship together in a timeless technique. Each serigraph is hand-pulled or screen-printed in layers, with one screen for each color — allowing for rich textures, saturated tones, and a tactile surface that digital methods can’t replicate. Favored by iconic artists like Warhol, serigraphs are both graphic and expressive, with subtle variations that make each print uniquely yours. Printed on premium rag paper or canvas, our serigraph editions are limited, collectible, and full of character.
