Unframed print | Specs
Size: The size ordered is equal to the paper size, not the print size. There is a 1.5-2cm border around the print.
Printing method: Giclée. This means your print is a gallery-quality reproduction of my original painting. It is fade-proof, high resolution, and highly pigmented. You’ll get all the colour and tone variations, details and visual texture of the original painting and your print will look fantastic, forever.
Paper type: Premium fine art paper.
Paper brand: Hahnemühle German Etching. This is a traditional mould-made copperplate printing paper, complete with an inkjet coating designed especially for fine art prints.
Paper material: 100% alpha-cellulose. This means it is made from 100% high-grade wood pulp and is durable and sturdy.
Paper weight: 310gsm (grams per square metre). This tells you how thick and sturdy the paper will be. For reference, office printing paper has a gsm of 80, while business cards will be 350gsm.
Paper finish: Paper has a velvety matte finish. A matte finish gives you the closest feel of an original painting, while accurately reproducing its colours and tones without any glare.
Paper texture: Paper has a textured surface. This gives depth and emulates the textured canvas from the original painting.
Paper colour: Paper has a warm, natural white hue.
Environmental credentials:
- FSC certified timber for the paper and packaging. This means it was sourced from sustainable forests.
- Vegan certified paper.
- Printed using water-based inks. This means the ink used does not contain the toxic chemicals and plastics that solvent-based inks do.
