FAQs

We strive to provide high quality artwork by partnering with premium New Zealand Services.

 

Prints

Printing

Artwork is printed in New Zealand by professional fine art printing lab. 

Prints are produced using  Epson SC-P20070 and Epson Ultrachrome Pro Inks which are designed to be light-fast. 

 

Paper

Photographs are typically printed on premium Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm artist paper, unless otherwise stated.  This white cotton artist’s paper has a wonderfully soft feel, with a lightly defined felt structure, enhancing each artwork three-dimensional appearance and pictorial depth. It is acid- and lignin-free and ISO 9706 conform / museum quality for highest age resistance.

The combination of the wide tonal range of the printing inks and the fine art paper we use enhances the painterly style of my photographs.

 

Print Sizes

Print sizes are listed on the product page. Print size is image size plus 5/6cm white border (5cm top and sides, 6cm bottom). This provides the option to frame print without a matt if you prefer. 

  

Print Orders

If you prefer to have print framed at your local framer, order unframed print option. 

Print size include a scaled border in place of mat. This gives you options when you go to your framer. The larger border also helps with handling. If you decide to use this border instead of matting, make sure you ask your Framer to use a spacer with frame to keep the glazing apart from print.
