ART AND ARTISTS
Which artists will I find on your website?
We feature young and talented artists working in a wide range of media from all around the globe. We at HMSX Gallery are mainly inclined in the work of emerging artists.
What printing techniques do you use?
We sell museum quality prints, and work closely with the artists in order to achieve this. The artists have a choice between two main printing techniques: lambda-print and archival pigment print. The respective printing method is decided taking into consideration the nature of the work.
What's the difference between lambda print and archival pigment print?
A lambda print is a color photographic print made on negative-type color photographic paper and is used for both black and white as well as multicolored art works. This is the most common print for artworks whose original medium is photography. Archival pigment print is a method of printing using a digital pigment printer. Prints made by this method are also referred to as Giclée prints. The image stability of pigment printing is superior to that of any other method of printing and it excels in permanence.
To what degree does the print look like the image I see online?
We do our utmost to ensure quality and precision. Nevertheless, please take into consideration that the images you see on your screen are back-lit and that the color setting on each computer might vary. The printed works are made according to the artists' instructions, and they are personally reviewed and approved by the artists to ensure their full satisfaction.
Do artists benefit from sales?
All income from sales are split evenly with the artist after deducting production costs.
Who holds the copyrights of the artworks?
All copyrights are retained by the artists.
What's a limited edition?
A Limited Edition is a series of identical prints, which are limited to a certain number of pieces. We commit to only produce the stated number of prints, and once an edition is closed, it's closed forever. With each print you purchase, you will receive an authenticity certificate, numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
Will I receive a certificate of authenticity along with the work?
Along with your limited edition print you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity that is hand signed and numbered by the artist. This certificate also specifies the title of the work, printing method, and location in the edition.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
When will I receive the print I just bought?
We usually ship within 3 weeks, though this varies from country to country. Each work is processed individually.
How do you make sure I receive my print in perfect condition?
We care deeply for your prints. Each print is carefully hand packed and sent by registered mail. The small prints are packed in a protective nylon package, inserted into a cardboard box, and sealed in an envelope. The medium and large size prints are carefully rolled with brown paper and put in a cardboard roll. Our packaging ensures that no damage occurs during delivery.
