We chose this paper because it portrays our artwork with high color accuracy, minimal paper texture, and no glare.

A 100% cotton museum grade white Fine Art and photo paper. The exceptional smooth white tone is achieved during manufacturing by introducing natural minerals to the process. It has been developed to address the need for continued longevity requirements in the Digital Fine Art market. Source

We chose this paper because it plays with light in interesting ways, creating a lustering metallic surface, subtle texture, darker darks, and silvery lights that are different than any other metallic fine art paper on the market. Pictures do not do it justice!

A 100% cotton museum grade silvery-shimmering Fine Art inkjet paper with a specially formulated inkjet coating for Fine Art use. The natural white cotton paper contains no optical brighteners and has the characteristic Photo Rag® surface structure. Photo Rag® Metallic is acid and lignin-free and meets the most exacting requirements in terms of age resistance. Source

All of our artwork is generated with novel algorithms made by us and inspired by disciplines throughout multiple STEM fields. We may post additional detail about our algorithms on the Projects page and update this region accordingly.

• Artwork is rendered at a resolution of 16,000 x 24,000 pixels. This results in an image resolution of 400 pixels per inch (ppi) for a 40 x 60 print and significantly higher pixel densities for smaller sizes. At these resolutions, we are limited more by the current state-of-the-art printing technology than our rendering process. Standard fine art prints usually have a resolution of 300 ppi.
• Our artwork shows off more detail the larger they are printed due to the extreme resolution of the original file.
• Rendered at higher than usual bit depth, resulting in more intricate detail and smoother gradients. Images use 16 bits per red / green / blue color channel, which results in 281 trillion potential colors.

Print and paper sizing is shown below. All of our prints have a 1.5 inch paper margin around the perimeter.

• We will never expand a limited edition once it sells out.
• We may use artwork in marketing, promotional material, books, and small-format media (like post cards).
• We may create 2 artist proofs (AP) at each size, as needed. These are required for print testing on multiple papers, photography, and event displays.
• Each size has its own numbering.

16 x 24 Print:
Edition Quantity: 60 + 2 Artist Proofs (AP)

24 x 36 Print:
Edition Quantity: 30 + 2 Artist Proofs (AP)

40 x 60 Print:

• We focus on selling lower volume, high impact artwork of exceptional quality
• We work with an industry-leading fine art printing studio to ensure artwork is created to the most exacting standards
• All artwork is printed on color-calibrated wide format printers using custom printing profiles
• Every piece is produced with archival pigment inks and archival papers
• We personally and meticulously inspect, sign, number, package, and ship all of our products

• Please note that we do not drop ship artwork from a mass printing service. Every print is reviewed, hand-signed, numbered, and packed by us! As a result, orders can take up to a week to be fulfilled. 
• Please let us know ASAP if you need your artwork sooner, and we will do our best to accommodate you. Email us at: support@AffineDesign.com

• Often in math and science, the concept of “up” is arbitrary. This is the case with our artwork too!
• We don’t want to force our interpretation upon you, so we let you choose the orientation in which your print is signed. We will even move our signature to the back if you so desire. It is all up to you.
• We sign prints in the paper margin just below the print, or on the back in an equivalent location.
• Please note that since Dan and Sean collaborate on the creation of artwork, they take turns signing everything. Dan signs work as DSBrennan and Sean signs work as SDBrennan. Hopefully that isn't too confusing.

• Artwork hand-signed and numbered by the artist in your preferred orientation
• Certificate of authenticity, hand-signed and numbered
• Bill of sale
• Fun extras!

Please note that we do not offer framed prints for online sales.

This is a fine art print, which is produced with archival pigment-based inks and acid-free fine art paper. Fine art prints are renown for their long-lasting colors that do not fade or yellow over time. If cared for properly, they will last longer than a lifetime. However, please note that they are susceptible to damage and scuffing.

To minimize risk of damage, we sleeve prints in acid-free archival bags before rolling them up. We recommend that you keep your print in the sleeve until it is ready to be framed. When removing the print from the sleeve, we recommend that you:

• Ensure your hands are clean, lotion-free, and dry
• Use cotton gloves (if possible)
• Avoid rubbing or scraping the print area as the surface can be scuffed
• Have a clean, dry, flat place to unpackage the print
• Reroll unframed prints when transporting

Your print will appear most vibrant when illuminated with a 90+ CRI (color rendering index) light source. Maximize the lifetime of your artwork by keeping it out of direct sunlight. Please do not get the print wet.
