ARCHIVAL MUSEUM-QUALITY MATTE PAPER PRINTS

This master’s edition, off-white, archival museum-quality paper is uncoated and the superior choice for art enthusiasts who appreciate world-class quality to enjoy artworks most luxuriously.

  • The 250 gsm/ 110lb paper is perfect for fine art and is designed to last for years without losing its original beauty. Archival matte paper is uncoated and natural white (off-white).

  • With alkaline papermaking technology, prints on this paper are acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your prints will last many years without yellowing or discoloration.

  • Prints are free from or low in OBA (optical brightener additives). This ensures that the natural white color of the paper remains consistent under different lighting conditions. In contrast, the color of papers that contain optical brighteners can shift depending on the light source. Additionally, the color of OBA-free paper remains more consistent over time, so you can enjoy the prints for years without any shifts.

CANVAS PRINTS

The canvas texture enhances the image's natural look and feel, creating a truly immersive art experience.

  • Canvas prints are made from responsibly sourced wood for stretcher bars, mainly FSC-certified wood, to make canvas prints, ensuring a long-lasting and high-quality product.

  • Canvas prints are available in two thicknesses - slim and thick - We usually use slim. The slim canvas has an approximately 2cm /0.8" thick wood stretcher bar, while the thick canvas has an approximately 4cm /1.6" thick wood stretcher bar. Both variants come with hanging hardware included for easy installation.

  • A harmonious blend of cotton and polyester creates the ideal canvas texture, with a substantial weight of 300-350gsm/110-130lb and a thickness of 350-400 microns. This composition ensures each canvas print is both sturdy and durable, promising lasting quality.

ALUMINUM PRINTS

Visually striking, polished, and built to last - stylish aluminum prints are designed with superior quality and a clean finish.

  • Crafted from two white aluminum layers and a black polyethylene compound core in between, aluminum DIBOND® is lightweight yet strong, making it durable and perfect for larger art pieces. Since the aluminum DIBOND® panel is coated in white, it ensures that the white and bright areas have a faint silky gloss, which is stunning.

  • The colors on this print are highly saturated, even in large monochrome areas, ensuring the artwork pops off the surface. The print is matte and glare-free, giving it a timeless and classic look that subtly and understatedly enhances the art.

  • The aluminum print is approximately 3mm /0.12", providing a sturdy and rigid base.

  • The direct printing technology ensures that the image is printed straight onto the surface of the aluminum DIBOND® panel, resulting in a vivid and accurate reproduction. You can be sure that the tonal gradation will be on point.

We use FSC-certified paper and frame or equivalent certifications, depending on regional availability. It’s better for the people and the planet.

PACKING

Based on our partner’s network experience shipping millions of orders worldwide and supported by customer feedback, we have defined the most efficient and damage-resistant ways to package our products to ensure compliance with local shipping requirements.

We use different packaging depending on the poster’s size and the country to which the item is produced and shipped.

Our standard paper print packaging without frames is a tube and up to 5 prints per tube.

The frames come pre-packed with corners and film and then packed in a box with solid edges to protect them. I-beams are also used to give the package additional sturdiness and for multi-item orders (a maximum of three frames in one package).

Canvas and aluminum prints are packaged with solid edges to protect them. We also wrap the item in bubble plastic or craft paper for protection.

NOTES

  • You may think the folder containing the poster is an insert to protect the frame and believe that the poster is missing from their framed poster order.

  • Plexiglass used in frames may also carry a protective film, often applied to the glass’s front and back. This film usually has a blue hue. These protective films can be mistaken for scratches, bubbles, or a colored cast on a print/glass.

  • Please note that the pictures below are only examples, as packaging might vary between countries.
