Museum-grade prints

Open-access masterworks from the world's museums, and our gallery collections, printed to museum standard on fine-art paper and ready to frame. Each work is printed whole, never cropped. Launching soon.

01

The paper

Studio

Enhanced matte art, 200gsm

A smooth, museum-grade matte. Clean, even colour and a soft finish. The everyday way to take a work home.

Fine Art

Hahnemühle German Etching, 310gsm

A heavily textured, archival alpha-cellulose paper, mould-made in Germany. Deep tooth and weight, for the works you want to live with.

The ink. The same for both papers. Pigment inks, not dye, laid down giclée, the way museums and galleries print. Pigment is what keeps the colour on your wall from fading indoors. Our print partner is a Fine Art Trade Guild approved printer, and its prints are tested every year by a UKAS approved laboratory to a Blue Wool score of six or better, rated to keep their colour for over a hundred years in ideal conditions.

02

Framing

Framed

Black wood box frame

One clean, museum-grade box frame: hand-stained solid wood in black, a 20mm face with a contemporary shadow-line, glazed with Perspex. Ready to hang.

Unframed

Ready to frame

Supplied as the print alone. Each sits on a museum sheet sized to a standard A-frame, so it drops straight into an off-the-shelf frame.

03

Collectors edition

A Collectors edition is planned: limited, numbered, large-format prints of curated works, both open-access and licensed. The edition is the physical print run, numbered and limited; it never changes the rights of the artwork itself.

04

EUR is the same. USD is about 15% more. A4 and A3 unframed sit under CHF 100, the everyday way in. Framed prices are for the black solid-wood box frame, glazed and ready to hang. A1 is large format, made to order.

05

Every print

The whole work, never cropped.

Printed at its true proportions, centred on a white museum sheet that fits a standard frame. Credit sits beside the work, never across it.

A certificate you can verify.

Each print comes with a certificate you scan to check its rights and provenance, the rights exactly as the source institution set them, backed by the openclearance standard.
