Why the printed photograph looks better than the preview

No watermarks appear on purchased products. Website images are reduced in resolution and compressed for display. Your print is made from the original high-resolution master file for outstanding definition and fine detail.

Print sizes & finishes

Framed and unframed paper prints are available in A0, A1, A2, A3 and A4. They are made as fine art giclée prints on Canon Pro Platinum 300gsm photo paper.

  • Unframed, borderless: printed edge-to-edge with no border.
  • Unframed, 15mm border: a clean white border around the image on all sides.

Short edge × long edge; reverse the measurements for landscape orientation. The framed estimate adds 35mm of mount and 22mm of frame to each side. Frame and canvas depth: 22mm.

How the border affects image size

For unframed prints, the selected size is the paper size. The optional 15mm white border sits inside it. Framed prints retain the A-series image size, with a separate 35mm mount outside the photograph. A canvas retains the full A-series image on the front, with mirrored edges around its 22mm sides.

Unframed

Supplied as the print only, ideal if you would like to frame or mount it yourself.

Framed

22mm black stained wood frame with a square profile, a 35mm off-white mount and protective glazing. Supplied ready to hang.

Canvas

350gsm textured poly-cotton canvas, hand-stretched on a 22mm wooden frame. Mirrored edges and ready-to-hang fixings included.

Black stained wood frame

Printed on Canon Pro Platinum 300gsm photo paper for rich colour and fine detail.

A square profile with visible wood grain: 22mm wide and 22mm deep, surrounding a 35mm off-white mount. Made to order, glazed and ready to hang.

The mount sits outside the A-series image. Allow an extra 11.4cm in both directions for the mount and frame. Measurements are approximate; contact us for an exact fit.

22mm canvas with mirrored edges

Giclée printed on 350gsm bright white textured poly-cotton canvas, hand-stretched over a 22mm-deep wooden frame. Supplied ready to hang with saw-tooth fixings.

The full A-series photograph stays on the front. Its outer edges are mirrored around the sides, preserving the composition on the face. The selected size is the canvas face size.

12-colour pigment printing produces detailed highlights, rich blacks and smooth colour transitions. Our canvas option is the 22mm mirrored wrap, without a float frame.
