Paper Prints, Mounting & Framing

After a great deal of research and test printing, and in consultation with our printers, we have decided to use Hahnemuhle FineArt - the “gold standard” for archival quality artists prints since 1584, made using spring water and the highest quality pulps.

The specific paper we use is Hahnemuhle German Etching 310 gsm mould-made, acid free etching paper with a velvety smooth surface making it ideal for our highly detailed, photographic images, particularly as this paper has been specially coated for excellent image sharpness and optimum colour graduation.

It is produced using state-of-the-science environmentally friendly methods with as much recycling as possible, then tested by ten factors including ink, water and air permeability.

You can have any print mounted on our specially selected mount. We tested a range of mounts, and we finally decided on a slightly off-white (not “bright white” despite its name - “Snow White”) with a double thickness, which is angle cut to the print surface giving a very high quality, but “unfussy” finish.

All our small and medium sized prints we can supply framed using a hand painted (at our printers) black wood frame in a contemporary style. We think it perfectly complements our images - without competing with them.

It is made from an African tree, Obeche (Triplochiton Scleroxylon), which is a timber in plentiful supply and from managed forests. Obeche wood is, in fact, the best quality, and used mainly for bare wood profiles like ours, although we have it hand painted at our printers.

We do not supply as standard our large prints because they need special packaging (often wooden crates) to give them sufficient protection to arrive in perfect condition. However, we are willing and able to supply them, and will quote costs and times when you specify the image - just email or call us.

We can also supply prints to much larger sizes, so do discuss with us what you would like.

Canvas Prints & Stretched Canvases

All our canvas prints are hand finished with specially formulated “satin gloss” varnish - literally, the varnish is applied by brush, print by print.

All our stretched canvases are made individually by hand, and have corner wedges (more taut canvas, longer lasting tension).

They are made from the same Obeche wood as the frames (see above). All images run round the sides, so that from the side or the front all you can see is image - and no white canvas.
