Print - Unframed
The Distinguishing Features
This product type is our least expensive product offering. As this is unframed, the product will either be shipped to you flat or safely rolled up. Enabling lower delivery fees.
If you really want one of our products at the lowest cost, then this is what you’re after.
We still use the same high quality paper and printing process as with our other products but this is simply missing the framing process.
We encourage you to get this framed locally with a custom frame in a colour of your choice. We also appreciate that due to the lower shipping weight, this variant creates the lowest carbon emissions.
The Printing Surface
This product is printed on a velvety matte surface called Hahnemühle German Etching Paper which is specifically designed for fine art applications. It’s made from 100% alpha cellulose which is characterised by its extraordinary velvety tactile feel and its clearly defined, fine felt structure.
The paper is coated with a premium matte inkjet coating, improving the subsequent printing process. This creates outstanding print results with excellent colour reproduction and detail, deep blacks and optimum contrasts. The paper has a warm white hue, providing the perfect surface for producing fine art photography.
This vegan certified paper is acid and lignin free. The paper is compliant with ISO 9706, conforming to museum quality, ensuring the highest age resistance.
Basically, this is some very, very fancy paper.
The Environment & Product
Our photographic prints are produced using high-quality water-based inks, reducing the use of harsh chemicals while delivering exceptional colour accuracy and longevity.
To minimise transportation emissions, orders are fulfilled through a network of local production partners. This helps reduce shipping distances and lowers the overall carbon footprint of each order.
The glass used is acrylic glass, offering a durable alternative to traditional glass. The increased resistance to breakage helps reduce damage during transit, minimising replacements, redeliveries, and the associated environmental impact.
The Packaging
Rigid spiral-wound cardboard tubes for easy recycling! In the UK the tubes are capped with compostable plastic-free caps. Eco friendly paper based tapes are used to secure the endcaps in place.
The Look
The Inks & Printing Technology
Every print is produced using the Giclée printing process, the industry standard for fine art reproduction. Originally developed for artists, galleries, and museums, Giclée printing is renowned for its exceptional detail, colour accuracy, and archival longevity. This premium printing method captures the subtle tones, textures, and nuances of each image, ensuring a result that faithfully reflects the original artwork.
The Sustainable, High-Performance Inks
We use advanced water-based inks throughout our entire print collection. These inks deliver outstanding colour depth, vibrancy, and precision while providing a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional solvent-based inks. Unlike solvent-based inks, which can release hazardous pollutants, water-based inks are non-toxic, non-hazardous, and odourless, with up to 70% of their formulation consisting of water.
The Hand Crafting & Delivery
Each print is individually produced to order and undergoes a meticulous printing and quality control process to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Production typically takes up to three working days allowing sufficient time for printing, mounting, finishing, and inspection.
Once approved, your artwork is carefully packaged and dispatched, ready to be displayed and enjoyed for years to come.
