These are available in a range of sizes. Each print is assessed before printing to check the suitability of print size and quality, and can be made from digital files, negatives, or prints.
Posters are printed on 260gsm Professional Semi-matte Photo Paper.
Canvas prints printed on Premium Canvas Satin Textured Semi-Gloss, and are supplied on wooden stretcher bars. Once printed, part of the image is wrapped around all four sides, so please keep in mind that the focus of the image needs to be fairly central, and not near to the edge of your image.
We will scan negatives and prints to give the optimum resolution but supplied digital files should be saved at a high resolution, preferably around 18MB, to ensure quality of reproduction.
Note: Canvas service only for Shop customers, not postal

If more detailed work is required, or for turning black and white images to colour, we send a digital copy of your image away to be processed (you retain the original), this service can take between 7 and 14 days, and we will give you a price prior to sending.
