Before a beautiful fine art inkjet paper can be made, you must first create a beautiful uncoated fine art paper base. The only way to end with the best is to start with the best. Therefore, a lot of development resources are devoted towards creating proprietary base fine art papers. Our base fine art papers are made using the finest raw materials in the world, and each paper is methodically tested for performance. Every single sheet is hand inspected before an inkjet receptive coating (IRC) is applied to the surface.

After a winning base fine art paper or watercolor paper is made, we then apply a proprietary acid-free inkjet receptive coating. Currently, we are the only inkjet paper and canvas designer in the industry with acid-free inkjet receptive coatings. Our coating technology always exceeds expectations of printmakers, and we are sure to never release a product unless it is going to make a lasting impression. By doing so, our coating technology has been most instrumental in establishing Breathing Color's reputation as a leader in our field.

Breathing Color is now publishing measured testing data analysis of our products in order to illustrate our ongoing commitment to excellence in quality and the attainment of clear leadership in product innovation. We call our products "the most advanced in the world" - and its our job to to show you precisely why. Please read our Print Quality Evaluation of The Top 100% Cotton Rag Inkjet Fine Art Papers.
