Detailed Print Options

There are a range of print options available to you on this site, some images work better on giclée prints, some others printed directly on to metal. If you are unsure what would work best for your choice of image, just send us an email and we would be happy to discuss it with you. 
The range of options available to you are:

Fine Art Giclée Papers

Because each image has different qualities, it has to be matched to a paper that has the right saturation and contrast to show it at its best. We have tested the ranges available and chosen the following for their quality and performance. If you would like a specific paper instead of one we have chosen, just let us know at the time of ordering.

Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm

Fine Art Baryta is wood free and exhibits a bright white finish. This paper has a similar foundation to that used in the past in traditional silver fibre prints. Its premium formulation allows for a large colour gamut with high image definition and 3-dimensional colour depth. The paper's unique glossy Baryta surface lends itself perfectly to black and white prints with an extremely high dmax and finest grey tones as well as saturated colour images. Its premium inkjet coating also offers a very high level of water resistance.

Canvass Prints

Our canvas print on stretcher frame comes in three depths, from an understated 20 mm to a more prominent 60 mm. Your picture’s colours will remain brilliant for decades; the pigments are encapsulated in resin, making them enduringly smudge-proof.

There is a new alternative for traditional canvass and that is the textile print. It is printed through the thermal sublimation process, the colours are vaporised into the fabric. With a maximum resolution of up to 720 dpi, the resulting prints are totally sharp and the colours are rich and true to the source.

The texture of the finely woven fabric supports dynamic photographs with a light shimmer, making your image seem more tangible and full of life. According to the look you’re after, you can choose stretcher frames in 3 depths or with a 3D effect for your textile print.

Acrylic Glass

A direct print behind glass is a great introduction to the aesthetic benefits of acrylic. The crystal clear surface is 1/16" (2 mm) thick and adds a subtle depth to the image while accentuating the colors.

  • The look: Glossy and crystal clear with crisp contours
  • The characteristics: Lightweight and durable, making it easy to transport and exhibit
  • The effect: Subtle depth and vivid colours for a great first step into the world of acrylic glass
  • The durability: UV-protected and shatterproof for guaranteed brilliance and a crystal clear view

The 1/8" (3 mm) aluminium Dibond backing consists of a black polyethylene core sandwiched between 2 aluminium sheets coated platinum-white. A triple-layered composite material, it ensures stability while maintaining a low weight. Ideal for a gallery-quality presentation in any format.

  • Ensures stability and durability
  • Makes oversized and panorama formats possible
  • A timeless look for photos mounted under acrylic glass

You also have the option of having an Original photo print behind either normal acrylic or matte acrylic glass, depending on your requirements.

Metal Prints

A metal print is another option for printing. To make it, your photo is first mirrored and printed onto a transfer sheet using Fine Art inkjet inks. Then, in a process involving high pressure and heat, the print is steamed from the transfer sheet into the aluminium’s special coating, where it is permanently sealed in. The process is called dye sublimation, and it allows for the rendering of exact details and brilliant colours with excellent durability

  • Exceptional colours – highly recommended for colourful and high-contrast images
  • Reliable and durable – thermal sublimation and robust aluminium make a great combination 
  • Please note: Although the HD Metal Print is impressively perfect, the printing process can result in minor surface imperfections or irregularities.

 

Your metal prints arrive ready to hang with aluminium rails attached to the back for easy installation out of the box. If you would like a visual border or warmer appearance for your picture, you can also choose from 100 different frame options in a variety of styles. Our frames also arrive ready to hang in both landscape and portrait orientation. Just send us an email for a quote.
