Who prints it: A4 and A3 prints, greeting cards and fridge magnets are printed by me in North Cornwall from the full-resolution master file. A2, A1 and A0 prints and framed prints are made to order from the same file by a specialist UK print lab. Canvases are printed and hand-stretched to order by a specialist canvas maker, in the UK for UK orders.
Supplier photographs. Grain and colour vary a little from frame to frame, and every screen shows colour slightly differently.
Canvas
Gallery-wrapped, with no frame needed. A textured, painterly finish: softer detail and contrast than a paper print.
400gsm artist-grade cotton canvas with a fine woven texture
Hand-stretched on a 38mm-deep kiln-dried pine frame, with hand-folded corners
Mirrored edges keep the whole photograph on the front
Inks rated for up to 200 years on display; keep out of direct sunlight
Hangs from its top bar on a picture hook; hanging fixings not included
A folded corner on a 38mm canvas; supplier photograph.

Width × height for landscape orientation; reverse the measurements for a portrait print. The framed estimate adds 35mm of mount and 22mm of frame to each side (oak frames are 1mm narrower). Frame depth: 22mm. Canvas depth: 38mm.
What the size measures
Unframed: the paper size. A 15mm border sits inside it.
Framed: the photograph keeps its A-series size. The mount and frame add about 11.4cm in each direction.
Canvas: the canvas face. The edges are mirrored around the 38mm sides.
Measurements are approximate; contact us for an exact fit.
Paper
Signature Photo IncludedCanon Pro Platinum 300gsm
Smooth, glossy photographic paper with rich colour, strong contrast and crisp detail.
Cotton Fine ArtHahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm
Premium matt paper made from 100% cotton, with a soft feel and subtle surface texture. Rich colour and fine detail with a tactile, gallery-style finish.
Not sure? Go for Signature Photo if you like bold colour and a crisp, glossy finish. Choose Cotton Fine Art if you would rather have a matt surface with the subtle texture of cotton paper.
For framed prints, the paper finish sits behind glazing; matt paper does not remove reflections from the glass or acrylic.
