Premium Semi-Matte Photo Paper
Artists and photographers alike love this paper for its understated semi-matte finish, optimized for maximum presentation quality with minimum glare. The neutral tone, high D-Max, and high ink saturation make this paper an outstanding choice for fine art reproductions. *Note -- Semi-Matte paper, with it's subdued sheen, is my favorite, all-around finish. It's a great choice for most images, and is a simple solution if you're unsure of which finish to choose. Premium Archival Matte Paper
Long-lasting and versatile, this heavyweight matte finish paper is engineered for high contrast and crisp reproduction of high resolution images. Premium Archival Matte is a neutral white paper ideal for black-and-white photography and a variety of fine art applications. It is acid-free for archival longevity. *Note -- I don't recommend Archival Matte Paper for vividly-colored images. However, matte paper has no gloss or glare, and is especially well suited to black and white, sepia, maps, and vintage-style images. Matte is also useful in spaces where glare or reflections are a problem. Premium Glossy Photo Paper
For luxuriant depth and vivid color, reproduce your images on this ultra-gloss finish. The neutral tone, high D-Max, and ink saturation make photo papers an outstanding choice for fine art reproductions. *Note -- I often hang glossy images without a glass or acrylic cover. However, room lighting should be carefully considered before hanging and exhibiting glossy-finished prints, as glare and reflections can be a problem. Premium Luster Photo Paper
This happy medium is preferred by portrait photographers for its cheerful sheen. The luster finish also has a delicate sparkle that makes images of water scintillate. The neutral tone, high D-Max, and high ink saturation make photo papers an outstanding choice for quality reproductions. Cool Tone Picture Rag Paper
Popular among photographers for its exceptional black-and-white imagery, Cool Tone Picture Rag also holds incredibly vivid and true colors. Cool Tone Picture Rag is an acid-free paper made from 100% cotton rag. |
Somerset Velvet Paper
This radiant white paper offers vivid color reproduction and deep, rich blacks for amazing contrast. With a texture that gently softens the overall effect, it adds an extra hint of warmth to reproductions of oils and pastels and a softer edge to photography. Somerset Velvet is a 100% cotton rag paper, making it perfect for conservation quality projects. Watercolor Paper
The textured finish and satisfying weight of this fine art watercolor paper provides an authentic look and feel for reproductions of watercolor art — or, use it to add an interesting natural texture to photography and digital media. Collectors who like to handle the print out of frame will appreciate this paper's rigidity and surface feel. Watercolor Paper is a neutral-toned, acid-free paper made from 100% cotton rag. Metallic Paper
Metallic paper prints are a budget-friendly way to create modern wall art. Metallic paper provides an exceptionally vibrant print with the shine and shimmer of metal. This highly durable paper is mostly white with a signature metallic finish, making it ideal for a wide range of images including white and flesh tones. Glossy Canvas
With a glossy finish formula specially designed for pigmented inks, this canvas lovingly recreates the texture and reflectivity of oils on canvas. It also lends a fine art feel to photographs. Glossy Canvas has a slightly warm tone and is made from an acid-free poly/cotton blend. *See more about canvas prints, below. Matte Canvas
The texture and weight of this canvas brings fine art reproductions one step closer to the originals, while the matte finish gives them a softness that invites attention. Matte Canvas has a bright white tone and is made from an acid-free poly/cotton blend.

About Canvas Prints
Bring your artwork to life with the texture and depth of a stretched canvas print. Your image is printed on one of our premium canvases and then stretched on a wooden frame of 1.5" x 1.5" stretcher bars (gallery wrap) or 5/8" x 5/8" stretcher bars (museum wrap). All stretched canvases ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with pre-attached hanging wire, mounting hooks, and nails. Stretched canvas prints display beautifully, with or without frames. |
About Metal Prints
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum. The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall (see photo on the left). All metal prints ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails. Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant. The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results. |
About Acrylic Prints
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic. The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that! All acrylic prints ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2). The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results. There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print. Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" |
