Fine Arts at DU: The Digital Print Guide
Updated: February 2025 • 3 min read
For a Fine Arts student at DU (College of Art) or a design student at NIFT, a portfolio is not just "work"—it is their professional identity. Printing digital art requires a deep understanding of color profiles and paper absorption.
CMYK vs. RGB: The Art Student's Dilemma
General xerox shops use low-end toner that shifts colors. Your vibrant "Cyan" becomes a dull "Blue".
- 100% Color Fidelity: We use high-end production presses that maintain CMYK accuracy.
- Fine Details: High resolution (2400 DPI) ensures your brush strokes and textures are visible in the print.
Portfolio Requirements for Art Students
Glossy Paper
Best for digital paintings and photography projects. Makes colors pop.
Matte Paper
Best for sketches, charcoal renders, and typography. No glare.
Poster Printing for Exhibitions
Final year juries often require A3 or larger posters. If you're printing a series of 10+ posters, OnlinePrintout offers bulk rates that are significantly lower than local "quick-print" shops in Hauz Khas or Mandi House.
Pro Tip for Art Juries
Upload your artworks in **PDF/X-1a** format. This ensures transparency and fonts are flattened, giving the most reliable result on our high-speed printers.
