Product Insights
The Curious Feeling Print by Paper Collective and All The Way To Paris aids emotional literacy through a human-centric design with minimal facial features that lets children project their own emotions. Core promise is an ethically produced open edition print with a portion of every sale donated to charitable projects in Nepal and Kenya, printed on acid-free, responsibly sourced paper using a 12-color Giclée process with per-job calibration for accurate colors. The main tradeoff is slight color variation between screen and print due to monitor differences, but the in-house Danish production and 12-color process minimize banding and ensure fresh, calibrated prints.
