6. What is the difference between paper and canvas?
The biggest difference between paper and canvas is the expression. There is no difference in quality between these two versions. Canvas is a thin fabric suitable for hanging in our magnetic oak frames. Canvas must be fitted with staples on our magnetic oak frames to get a durable and beautiful look. Paper is best suited in a frame and gives a more classic look. The picture below illustrates the difference in texture on paper and canvas.
7. Why do my prints look pixelated?
Lithography uses simple chemical processes to create an image. For instance, the positive part of an image is a water-repelling substance, while the negative image would be water-retaining. Thus, when the plate is introduced to a compatible printing ink and water mixture, the ink will adhere to the positive image and the water will clean the negative image. This allows a flat print plate to be used, enabling much longer and more detailed print runs than the older physical methods of printing.
Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1796. In the early days of lithography, a smooth piece of limestone was used (hence the name "lithography": "lithos" (λιθος) is the ancient Greek word for stone). After the oil-based image was put on the surface, a solution of gum arabicin water was applied, the gum sticking only to the non-oily surface. During printing, water adhered to the gum arabic surfaces and was repelled by the oily parts, while the oily ink used for printing did the opposite.
Our collection "Illustrated Encyclopedia Plants" is made with this technique. The prints can therefore easily be mistaken for being "pixelated". They are not. The slightly coarse and smeared expression is precisely what makes these posters absolutely wonderful.

Photocrom: The process was invented in the 1880s by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856–1924), an employee of the Swiss company Orell Gessner Füssli. From the mid 1890s the process was licensed by other companies. In the 1890s it was the leading method in coloring black and white images. The method was used until the Second World War and the last photochromic printer worked until 1970.
A tablet of lithographic limestone called a "litho stone" was coated with a light-sensitive surface composed of a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed halftone negative was then pressed against the coating and exposed to daylight (ten to thirty minutes in summer, up to several hours in winter), causing the bitumen to harden in proportion to the amount of light passing through each portion of the negative. Then a solvent such as turpentine was applied to remove the unhardened bitumen and retouch the tonal scale, strengthening or softening tones as required. Thus the image became imprinted on the stone in bitumen. Each tint was applied using a separate stone that bore the appropriate retouched image. The finished print was produced using at least six, but more commonly ten to fifteen, tint stones.
Our collection Photocrome collection and "Silk screen prints" are prints from this technique.

6. What is the difference between paper and canvas?
The biggest difference between paper and canvas is the expression. There is no difference in quality between these two versions. Canvas is a thin fabric suitable for hanging in our magnetic oak frames. Canvas must be fitted with staples on our magnetic oak frames to get a durable and beautiful look. Paper is best suited in a frame and gives a more classic look. The picture below illustrates the difference in texture on paper and canvas.
7. Why do my prints look pixelated?
Lithography uses simple chemical processes to create an image. For instance, the positive part of an image is a water-repelling substance, while the negative image would be water-retaining. Thus, when the plate is introduced to a compatible printing ink and water mixture, the ink will adhere to the positive image and the water will clean the negative image. This allows a flat print plate to be used, enabling much longer and more detailed print runs than the older physical methods of printing.
Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1796. In the early days of lithography, a smooth piece of limestone was used (hence the name "lithography": "lithos" (λιθος) is the ancient Greek word for stone). After the oil-based image was put on the surface, a solution of gum arabicin water was applied, the gum sticking only to the non-oily surface. During printing, water adhered to the gum arabic surfaces and was repelled by the oily parts, while the oily ink used for printing did the opposite.
Our collection "Illustrated Encyclopedia Plants" is made with this technique. The prints can therefore easily be mistaken for being "pixelated". They are not. The slightly coarse and smeared expression is precisely what makes these posters absolutely wonderful.
_____________________________________
Photocrom: The process was invented in the 1880s by Hans Jakob Schmid (1856–1924), an employee of the Swiss company Orell Gessner Füssli. From the mid 1890s the process was licensed by other companies. In the 1890s it was the leading method in coloring black and white images. The method was used until the Second World War and the last photochromic printer worked until 1970.
A tablet of lithographic limestone called a "litho stone" was coated with a light-sensitive surface composed of a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed halftone negative was then pressed against the coating and exposed to daylight (ten to thirty minutes in summer, up to several hours in winter), causing the bitumen to harden in proportion to the amount of light passing through each portion of the negative. Then a solvent such as turpentine was applied to remove the unhardened bitumen and retouch the tonal scale, strengthening or softening tones as required. Thus the image became imprinted on the stone in bitumen. Each tint was applied using a separate stone that bore the appropriate retouched image. The finished print was produced using at least six, but more commonly ten to fifteen, tint stones.
Our collection Photocrome collection and "Silk screen prints" are prints from this technique.

Prints with history
At The Dybdahl Co., we are heritage adventurers. We find material and inspiration from prints in rare books and hidden galleries, archives, libraries and museums. We have collections from known and unknown artists and biologists, but common for them all: They all have a vintage, poetic look and a modern, Scandinavian touch.
Botanical and animal prints
Trends come and go, but some things never go out of style – like Flora and Fauna. These natural wonders will forever be sources of inspiration, and we have chosen to cherish them by adding them to our designs. If you are looking to add a bit of nature to your home, browse through our wide selection of animal and botanical prints. From the animal universe, we offer everything from crawling insects, mysterious algae, fascinating lizards and impressive habitants of the savannah to beautiful birds, delicate butterflies and colourful fish. Our botanical prints and posters include picturesque palm trees, delicate mushrooms and fungi, verdant green leaves and exotic flowers. Our botanical and animal prints are the perfect way to add a bit of wildlife to your walls, while giving them a vintage feel and creating a tropical garden vibe in your home.
An educational poster wall
Our prints are decorative and educational at the same time. You can learn about the animal anatomy, explore the insect species in detail or get lost in the exotic posters of African, Arctic and Oriental animals in their natural habitats. Learn more about the different kinds of fungi, flowers, fruits and trees, and let yourself get drawn into a world of Flora and Fauna even more fascinating than you would have ever imagined. Or dig into our selection of original advertising posters from the 30s and 40s USA, restored vintage photographs and old city maps - all ideal for giving that vintage vibe while maintaining the historical and educational element.
Join us on the adventure, and explore our wide selection of visual gold!
