PRODUCT INFORMATION
We are not the cheapest option out there and don't try to be. It is our goal to create an ultra-premium final product, and that comes with a large upfront expense. Framing is expensive, and framing oversized prints as we do comes with a substantial upfront cost.
Your purchase includes printing, mounting, framing, shipping, and most importantly paying proceeds to the photographer who captured your print. After all this the final result is something truly special and a luxurious addition to any wall.
We use museum-quality, Optica 300GSM fine art paper with a luxurious texture that enhances every fine detail and tonal nuance. Each print is brought to life with ultra-premium, pigment-based inks, ensuring rich, vibrant colors and unparalleled longevity for 75-100 years.
Despite being more expensive than glass, our framing features crystal-clear, museum-grade acrylic that offers superior UV protection, preserving your print’s brilliance even in harsh sunlight. This lightweight, shatter-resistant material enhances clarity while ensuring safe, seamless shipping for a flawless presentation.
Our frames are crafted from solid, premium hardwood (no plastic), offering a bold, gallery-worthy presence that exudes sophistication. Available in timeless black, crisp white, and rich natural finishes, each frame is meticulously constructed for strength, elegance, and lasting durability.
You will receive your selected image, pre-framed and ready-to-hang. No assembly necessary. The package will include wall mounts as well.
