Our Papers
Fine Art Print — smooth archival matte paper, 230gsm, acid-free, printed with long-lasting pigment inks. A clean, glare-free finish that keeps highlights open and tones true, for crisp and consistent colour. Ready for any frame.
Premium Giclée — Hahnemühle German Etching®, 310gsm, museum grade. A mould-made art paper with the authentic texture of traditional watercolor paper: light catches it the way it catches an original. Heavier in the hand, gallery quality, and crisp down to the finest line.
German Etching is made almost without optical brighteners — the additives that make paper look whiter, but fade with light exposure. It means the whites stay where they are, instead of yellowing over the years.
Both are printed with pigment inks and shipped unframed, ready for a frame of your choice. Availability may vary by country.
