Do you do commissions?

What paper do you use for your fine art prints?

The fine art prints are professionally printed with “House of Print”. These Giclee archival grade prints are of extremely high quality and use an ultra fine inkjet printing process. They stand the test of time. Upon ordering your print you have a selection of papers to choose from including the:

  1. cotton rag (Ilford Galerie Smooth 310g art paper) which offers a beautiful and smooth matte finish.

  2. lustre paper (sheen like a photograph but less glare than a glossy paper)

  3. metallic paper (Ilford Galerie Metallic Gloss 260 gsm) It has a sheen like a photograph with a pearlescent effect in the paper. The image has a three dimensional quality with the iridium finish.
