Printing materials
Every piece is printed to order on museum- and gallery-grade media, then dispatched from a lab close to you. Here's what each material is, how it feels, and what it suits — so you can choose with confidence.
Fine-art papers
Cold Press Watercolour Paper
A heavyweight, 100% archival watercolour stock with a gentle cold-pressed “tooth” — a soft, tactile surface that scatters light for a deep, velvety matte finish and absolutely no glare. Pigment inks sink into the fibres, giving rich, painterly colour with a handmade feel.
It's our most natural, art-first paper — the closest thing to an original painting on your wall.
- Finish
- Matte, lightly textured
- Best for
- Paintings, illustration, soft & atmospheric work
- Lasts
- 100+ years, fade-resistant pigment
- Care
- Frame behind glass or float-mount; keep out of direct sun
Hahnemühle German Etching
A legendary mould-made fine-art paper from Hahnemühle, 310gsm with a distinctive felt-like texture. It holds astonishing detail and the deepest, richest blacks of anything we print — the paper printmakers and galleries reach for.
Choose it when you want presence and gravitas: a print that looks and feels like a serious edition.
- Finish
- Matte, fine velvet texture
- Best for
- Etchings, drawings, monochrome, fine detail
- Lasts
- 100+ years, archival pigment
- Care
- Frame behind glass or float-mount
Canvas & panels
Stretched Canvas
400gsm artist-grade canvas, printed and hand-stretched over a 38mm solid wood frame, with the image wrapping cleanly around the edges. It arrives ready to hang straight from the box — no framing, no glass.
The textured weave and chunky depth give a relaxed, contemporary gallery look that fills a wall.
- Finish
- Satin canvas weave, 38mm deep
- Best for
- Bold, large-scale and contemporary pieces
- Hanging
- Ready to hang; no frame or glass
- Care
- Dust gently; avoid moisture
Acrylic Panel
The print is face-mounted behind 10mm of crystal-clear acrylic, which acts like a lens — colours leap, blacks deepen, and the whole image gains a glassy, three-dimensional luminosity. A float-mount hanger sits it slightly proud of the wall.
Our most striking, modern and premium option — it turns a print into a statement object.
- Finish
- High-gloss acrylic face
- Best for
- Vivid colour, photography, dramatic work
- Hanging
- Float-mount hanger included; ready to hang
- Care
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
Mounted Print
A fine-art print bonded to a rigid backing board — perfectly flat, lightweight and clean-edged. It's the easy, affordable way to get a gallery-quality print that's ready to pop into a frame or stand on a shelf.
- Finish
- Matte print on rigid board
- Best for
- Easy framing, desktops, gifting
- Hanging
- Frame to taste, or lean/stand
- Care
- Keep dry; handle by the edges
Poster papers
Lustre Photo Paper
A satin “lustre” photo paper with a subtle pearl sheen — rich, punchy colour and crisp detail, with far less glare than a full gloss. A brilliant all-rounder for photographic and graphic posters.
- Finish
- Satin / pearl lustre
- Best for
- Photographic posters, vibrant graphics
- Care
- Frame behind glass for longevity
Cotton Rag (Giclée)
Hahnemühle Photo Rag — a 100% cotton, acid-free giclée paper with a smooth, museum-matte finish. Soft, sophisticated colour and a tactile, premium hand. The archival choice for posters you want to keep for decades.
- Finish
- Smooth matte, cotton
- Best for
- Archival posters, fine detail, muted palettes
- Lasts
- 100+ years
- Care
- Frame behind glass; avoid direct sun
Not sure which to choose? As a rule of thumb: paper for a classic, art-first feel; canvas for a relaxed, ready-to-hang statement; acrylic for maximum impact. Every option is printed to order and dispatched locally.
