Frames and paper.
Every print is giclée printed on 200gsm museum-quality matte paper. Have it framed and ready to hang, or unframed for a standard frame in the same size.
Do the prints come framed?
Your call. In the UK, the US, Australia and New Zealand you can have it framed in black, white or natural oak-effect wood, ready to hang, in every size except 8 × 12 in. Unframed prints fit a standard frame in the same size.
Which frame should I buy?
One labelled with your print size: a 16 × 20 in frame for a 16 × 20 in print, an A2 frame for A2. Want a mount? Go one frame size up and get a mount cut for your print.
A sizes or inches?
Whichever matches the frames near you. A4, A3 and A2 are standard in the UK and Europe; the inch sizes match US frames.
What paper do you print on?
Giclée printed on 200gsm museum-quality matte paper. Matte means no glare under the clubhouse lights.
Still can’t decide?
Cut a sheet of paper to size (taped-together A4 works) and stick it on the wall for a day. If you keep looking at it, that’s your size.
