Prints (by Iain Will)
When
practical, our policy is to produce prints in standard sizes.
This reduces the need for expensive custom made frames and mounts.
You should be able to shop on-line for inexpensive frames, of
standard sizes. Email to
order your print, quoting the prints catalogue number, e.g. no.
P1. All prints are supplied with a mount and protective
plastic envelope.
Displaying
Your Prints
Prints are displayed using a card surround called
a mount (or mat), held in a frame behind glass.
We supply a free mount with each print that you order. If you
decide to frame the print yourself, attach the print to the mount
along the upper edge only, using gummed tape (or masking tape).
This prevents the print from buckling as the humidity in the room
varies. Non-reflective glass is ideal for pictures hung near windows.
Our prints have pigment based inks, and are printed on archival
matte paper. The prints are light fast (do not fade), unlike the
dye based inks used in popular desktop printers.
How to Handle Your Prints
The following advice from Art2enjoy.co.uk will
enable you to enjoy your prints for many years. These same rules
apply to most other artworks too. It is advisable to keep all
prints away from direct sunlight. The prints should not be exposed
to damp or humid conditions as this can cause deterioration. Always
handle the prints with clean, dry hands and do not touch the printed
surface. Ideally, acid free mounts (mats) should be used, although
this is not essential. Framing the prints promptly is the best
way to protect them, but they can also be stored indefinitely
in sealed polythene bags.
