Product information

Art prints

The heavyweight 230gsm matte fine art paper has a flawless ultra smooth finish with an inkjet receptive coating perfect for giclée-printed high-quality fine art reproductions.

Frames and mounted prints

The framed prints are mounted using acid-free, 1300 microns smooth white mount board with a white core and then framed and finished by hand in the UK using responsibly-sourced, solid wood mouldings. Clear acrylic glazing is used for safety and longevity. The finished products have taped backs and are ready to hang.
