About Fine Art Prints
-
Print Materials
All prints are printed on heavy art paper, 310 gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag, using long life quality inks to ensure light fast durability. The giclée method gives a clean end result with no discernible dot or print pattern. Other papers are available on request. These materials are the de facto standard as used by galleries and exhibitors.
Print Sizes
Measurements in centimetres are given for the longest side of the printed image area. Each print is made with a wide paper border all around to allow the framer to handle the print and for added edge protection during transport. In most cases, the minimum available print size is 60cm. Images of wildlife tend to have their best impact at larger sizes which is why we don’t offer smaller ones. For size requirements other than those listed, please enquire.
Framing
Pricing is for print only. Print sizes other than those indicated are available on request. Framed prints are not currently available online but may be offered at a future date. As a reference to framed dimensions including a mat or mount board, consider adding about 20cm to both the width and height of the print. For any other framing enquiries please contact us.

Limited Edition Prints
Signed and numbered prints are limited to small numbers and are each hand numbered and signed in pencil just beneath the image area. Limited edition prints are limited to numbers of 10, 15 or 25 only, and each edition comprises all their available print sizes. Prints limited to 50 or 75 are still available but there will unlikely be any more released of this number. Once an edition has sold out, there won’t be any more available no matter how much you try to persuade us. Prices for any given print may rise as its availability decreases.
Unlimited Edition Prints
Unlimited (or open) edition prints have no limit in their print run and are thus not hand numbered or signed. A signature is printed just beneath the image area. Thus unlimited editions typically cost less than limited editions. Otherwise these prints are identical in appearance and quality to signed and numbered limited edition prints.

Curation and Design
Print buying is very much a personal endeavour and no one specification fits all requirements. Size, framing and display options are almost if not as important as the print itself. Please do not hesitate to contact us so that we can offer advice and enable you to get the best out of your options by communicating directly with us before your purchase.
Quality Assurance
All prints are printed to high standards on finely textured heavyweight cotton rag paper. Long life quality inks are used to ensure light fast durability. The print is guaranteed to be fade resistant for at least 100 years thus ensuring your print will likely outlive you. Each print is checked to ensure quality before it is sent to the buyer.
Print Sample
If you wish to view a print sample to make a tangible assessment of your print‘s quality before purchase, we can at a £25 cost which will be deducible off your final purchase. The sample would be to the same standards using the same paper and inks as your final purchase.
Care of your print
On receipt of your print, take great care in removing it from the tube, and even greater care placing it back in again as the paper is soft and may buckle, which would be incredibly annoying for you. Rolling prints and placing them in tubes is a practiced art and it is not as easy as it might first appear. We recommend you take it straight to a framer where their experienced hands will ensure its condition.
