The USGA's Reproduction Process

The USGA's Museum's Archival Reproductions are made from high-resolution digital photographs and digital scans utilizing the latest state-of-the art digital technology.  The USGA's Photography and Archival Department carefully match the printed reproduction against the original work of art in our collection and produce master match prints which are used for each on demand custom print to ensure that the Museum's reproduction standards are maintained for both open and limited editions.

Every custom-made USGA Archival Print is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, 308 gram archival paper.  Founded in 1584, Hahnemühle is the oldest paper mill still producing papers for traditional and digital art.

The USGA's Museum's Archival prints produced on Hahnemühle papers using the latest Epson professional edition printers and Epson UltraChrome K3™ ink can produce archival prints with amazing fidelity for both color and black and white prints.
