How it's made
Printing and framing
- Paper
- 230gsm archival matte fine art paper. Acid-free, smooth, giclée-printed with pigment inks, and matte enough to read under a lamp without glare.
- Sizes
- Eight print sizes, 16×20″ up to 40×40″. Sizes are the print itself, so the frame and matte add to it and never crop it. Charts re-typeset for the size you order rather than scaling a small one up.
- Framing
- An optional solid-wood frame in fourteen finishes, from slim classics to weathered barnwood and traditional gallery profiles. Every framed print sits behind clear acrylic and ships ready to hang.
- Matte
- Add a 4-ply matte in one of fourteen colors with a 2″ border around the print, which widens the framed piece by 4″ each way, or run the print to the moulding.
- Unframed
- Order the print on its own if you already have a frame. Same paper, same archival printing.
