💛 THE EXPERT'S WORD

In 1969, 23-year-old Jacky Ickx took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At that time, the cars were lined up in a herringbone formation on the starting grid and the drivers had to run to their cars to start the race.

Ickx considered this to be dangerous, as the drivers would jump into their cars without fastening their seatbelts, which represented a major risk.

When the green flag was waved for the start of the race, Ickx made a conscious decision: he took his time, walked to his car, fastened his seatbelt and finally started from the last position on the grid. Despite this late start, he managed to claw his way back throughout the race and win by just 120 metres from the Porsche 908, achieving the smallest margin of victory in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours after an epic battle. It was also his first victory in this legendary endurance race.

Following this demonstration of common sense in terms of safety, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) decided the following year to abandon the running start, thus recognising the relevance of Ickx's approach.

What are the differences between the supports?

Fine Art Paper, Digigraphy printing

Digigraphie is a label of excellence created by Epson that enables us to reproduce a work of art in a limited series.

All our Fine Art Paper Editions are produced exclusively on Epson Stylus Pro inkjet printers, the best Fine Art printing system available today.

Epson Ultrachrome pigment inks and Digigraphie-approved textured papers guarantee dazzling rendition, exceptional colour reliability, lightfastness and great stability over time, a top-of-the-range system used by professional galleries and the world's greatest museums.

Simple Plexiglas

The printing is done directly onto the back of 4mm thick Plexiglas, then enhanced with a layer of white adhesive.

The Plexiglas is fitted with a 2cm thick medium wood hanging frame that allows the picture to be removed from the wall.

It's a modern support that's extremely bright and deep, perfectly suited to small and medium formats.

Premium Plexiglas

The top-of-the-range

1 3

The printing is done directly onto the back of 4mm thick Plexiglas, then enhanced with a layer of white.

The Plexiglas is then lined with an aluminium plate and a 2 cm thick hanging frame, also in aluminium, so that the illustration can be lifted off the wall.

The aluminium plate gives the painting excellent rigidity, avoiding reflections caused by the flexibility of the Plexiglas, which is very appreciated for large formats.

This is a very high-end modern medium, extremely luminous and deep.
