Prints FAQ
• BUYING PRINTS:
To purchase any photo in the galleries simply click on the photo and then click the little shopping cart found at the top, add the required size from the list, click 'View Cart' then proceed to the 'Checkout' to finalise the purchase of your fantastic, new photographic wall art!
• PRINTING PAPER TYPE:
Photos are printed on Canon Océ Professional Satin Photo Paper 260gsm, an excellent quality photo paper, using genuine pigment inks that are lightfast for up to 100 years, high quality and provide fadeproof printing.
Satin, also referred to as lustre or semi-gloss, is a soft sheen paper which is halfway between gloss and matte.
Satin finish photo papers provide the full colour capability of gloss with a wide colour gamut and high resolution. Viewing images printed on satin paper is made easier by the low glare and light reflection off of this paper. Therefore, when displaying images behind glass, satin paper is generally preferred to minimise reflections.
Note that some styles of photo will print better on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper, so that will be the preferred choice in those cases.
If you would like your image to be printed on any other paper types or you have any questions please get in touch.
• PRINT SIZES:
There are 3 sizes for prints:
- PRINTS [STANDARD 'A' PAPER SIZES] - Standard A1, A2, A3 and A4 paper sizes.
- SQUARE PRINTS [1:1 RATIO]
- PANORAMIC PRINTS [1:2 RATIO]
If you are unsure if a photo is square [1:1] or panoramic [1:2], please click on the photo and it will state the ratio (1:1 or 1:2) in the comments.
To see how any print will look you can simply add a photo to the 'Cart' and then click on 'Edit Crop'.
If you are unsatisfied with the crop shown or would like a bespoke size, please get in touch with me and, depending on the request, I will either tailor any crop of the photo to your preference for free, or provide you with a specific cost for a different size in line with the other prices shown on my website.
N.B. Larger print sizes than those shown may be possible on request.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for help and I will answer any questions you may have!
• PRINT BORDERS:
There will be a narrow 3 mm white border around the Canon Océ Professional Satin Photo Paper print, if you would like a larger border added to the photo please contact me and let me know the size required.
Please note that this will not change the print size, for example, for a 10 mm border on an A3 print the printed area will be reduced to accommodate the border, the size of the print will not be extended and will remain as A3.
• FRAMING:
If you would like to have a print framed then please contact me for further information and cost.
• CANVAS WRAPS:
Canvas wraps are hand-made and ready to hang on your wall. Images will be printed onto a 280gsm matt canvas with fade resistant inks and then mounted onto an 18mm pine box frame. The canvas wrap will come bubble-wrapped and packed in a custom made box for protection.
An assorted selection of canvas wrap sizes available for purchase are shown based on those provided by the printers I will be using.
To see how much a print size will crop a photo, you can click 'Buy', then select a 'Quantity' of 1, click on 'View Cart' and then 'Edit Crop'.
Please contact me if you would like any help selecting the most appropriate size for a particular photo.
• POSTERS AND OTHER PRINT MEDIA:
If you would like a poster printed, or any image printed on any other type of media, please contact me and I will look into pricing for you.
• FREE UK DELIVERY:
Shipping is free to UK addresses.
• OVERSEAS:
Please contact me for overseas delivery quotes as the cost will vary from product to product.
• DIGITAL IMAGE DOWNLOADS / LICENSING:
Please contact me to discuss digital image downloads and licenses for personal, editorial, marketing or advertising use.
• SEARCHING THE WEBSITE:
If you would like to see photos of a particular place, landmark or object please use the search box located in the top-right of the website on desktop, or in the menu on mobile. Note that the search function brings up results for all words entered, so if you're after photos of just the West Pier and enter 'West Pier' it will bring up results for the Palace Pier too. However, if you entered just 'West', the results would only be for the photos with the word 'west' in, which would happen to be just the West Pier.
Other examples: you might wish to search 'palace' for the 'Brighton Palace Pier', 'pavilion' for photos of the Royal Pavilion, or 'moon' for every photo with The Moon in it!
For a further explanation of anything in this FAQ or any other questions please contact me and I will reply as soon as possible.
