Prints
All Picturesonline prints are produced with conservation in mind: on acid- and lignin-free, pH-neutral papers using the latest K3 pigment inks. All prints have an estimated fade resistance of 60-80 years when not exposed to direct sunlight or a ‘chemical’ environment, and should ideally be displayed under UV-resistant glass. Prints are made on the following papers:
For semi-gloss/lustre finish: Permajet’s heavy-duty Classic Fine Art paper ‘FB (fibre-based) Gold Silk’, 315gsm, with its exceptional stability and colour accuracy and absence of artificial whiteners; or similar paper from Pinnacle, their 300gsm ozone- and UV-absorbing Premium Lustre. For matt prints, we use Innova's 315gsm Soft Textured Bright White Cotton from their Professional Fine Art range.
Prints are available in A3 and A2 sizes. Please note that not all sizes are available for every image: a few pictures, particularly those from earlier source material, do not meet our quality standard for large prints, and will only be available the smaller size. Prints will always have a white border (approx. one inch / 2 cms) around the image to allow for mounting. Prints at A2 size are sometimes 'Limited Edition' prints in editions of 45 for each image at that size. They are signed by the photographer below the picture area, and are accompanied by a signed and stamped certificate of authentication with an edition number. Once the edition is sold out, no more prints will be made from that image at that size.
Our prints are always made to order. When you order a bespoke print from the image pages, you can be assured that it has been hand-crafted from source material using the latest pigment inks for longevity and will be despatched as soon as we ourselves are satisfied that you will be receiving the best available quality of print. Although we do not use the term, a giclée print is simply a posh, and often misleading, way of describing a high-quality digital print. In that sense, all our prints are giclées!
