In General

The image will be printed as large as possible within the media size without cropping. If a specific image size and bleed is required, please mention this whilst ordering.

Ensure that the image size required fits within the media size for both the length and the width.

Both canvas and paper prints are suitable for:

  • Adding metal leaf, though canvas tends to work best, especially when sealed to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation

  • Dry mounting on MDF board and Aluminium Composite Panel, then trimming to remove the image bleed as required. The minimum recommended bleed is 3mm.

We stock four types of media:

  • Paper : Colourbyte - 280 gsm smooth white archival quality cotton rag

  • Paper : Hahnemuhle German Etching - 310gsm textured white archival quality cotton rag

  • Paper : Epson - 300 gsm smooth white archival quality cotton rag

  • Canvas : Epson - 350 gsm premium satin

Hand-Embellished Canvas Prints

As an option for your canvas print, we offer hand-embellishing service where each print is individually hand embellished using a course haired brush and acrylic to replicate an original with deep textures, then acrylic varnished for resilience. The surface is resilient and waterproof hence glazing is not required and may be dusted and wiped clean as admirers will definitely touch the surface! A gloss finish is standard though a satin or matt finish is available at no additional cost.

Framing, Laminating and Mounting

We have a variety of options if you wish to frame, laminate or mount your print for protection.

Basic Prints

Stretched Canvas prints are suitable for hanging either unframed, or framed in a modern tray frame or traditional frame. Following stretching, the canvas is spray varnished for resilience using satin varnish. Matt or gloss varnish are also available at no additional cost.

Stretcher Bars

We offer three types of stretcher bars:

  • Gallery Bars – 44mm wide x 44mm deep, which are most suited to hanging unframed and are typically termed ‘Box Canvas’ Prints

  • Premium Bars – 45mm wide x 20mm deep, which may be hung either unframed, framed in a tray or regular frame and are most suited to larger formats

  • Standard Bars – 35mm wide x 19mm deep, which may be hung either unframed, framed in a tray or regular frame and are most suited to smaller formats

For unframed stretched canvas

  • As a default, the artwork image is extended around the sides where possible to facilitate a ‘gallery wrap format’ where the image also covers the sides. However, if a plain colour is preferred, you can simply mention this when you upload the image.

  • Adjustable hangers and protection bumpers are fitted to the rear to facilitate flush mounting against the wall. An alternative of double D-rings and hanging string are also available at no additional cost.
