Can you tell me more about your prints?

Our cycling artwork is Giclée printed on to premium museum quality art paper, which has a smooth texture and a soft white colour (not bright white). The prints have a matte finish which enhances the colours of the artwork. Giclée printing (Giclée means "to spray") offers extra-fine image resolution and provides a high degree of detail. This gives our cycling prints crisp detail and vibrant colours that will stand the test of time. 

Can you tell me more about your framed prints?

Our classic wood frames have a smooth, black satin-laminated finish. They have a 20mm front face and are 20mm deep. Clean and elegant, they provide a minimalist look to your print.

All prints are dry mounted to prevent any wrinkles from developing. The frame is then sealed with tape to prevent dust and moisture from entering. 

An acrylic glaze is used, reducing the risk of breakages and making the frame lighter and easier to hang.

The frame is delivered with the appropriate fixtures and arrives ready to hang.

For framed prints with a window mount, a conservation grade mount is used to prevent discolouration over time.

Please remind me of the print sizes?
