PRINT TYPES
No frame needed. All hardware included.
Fujiflex Silver Halide
Fujiflex Silver Halide photos use a special archival-quality ink that is infused with light-sensitive silver halide crystals. These silver compounds are exposed to light to capture the image, and then chemically developed to bring out the final picture (i.e. an authentic “photograph”). The Fujiflex Crystal Archive paper has a polyester base (unlike traditional paper prints that use a paper base), which reflects light and gives the photo a glossy, almost mirror-like finish with deep, vibrant colors and ultra-rich tonal ranges you have to see to believe.
Mounting
Photo prints are mounted to a sleek aluminum backing for long-term display. A durable metal frame backing is adhered to the back of the print to provide a clean and minimalist floating appearance when hung.
Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
Canvas Gallery Wrapped Prints are printed on canvas and then stretched over a wooden frame. The canvas is wrapped around the edges of the frame, so the image continues onto the sides of the print. The default option for the sides of the canvas is to mirror the image, which avoids cropping. These are high quality canvasses that are sturdy, straight, highly detailed, and have ink that won’t yellow or fade quickly like cheap canvas prints.
Mounting
Canvas prints come with a wire hanger as the standard option. If you prefer a sawtooth hanger, please send me a message.
Displaying Your New Piece
Strongly consider displaying your new piece in a well-lit space, ideally with no windows directly across from the wall placement to avoid glare. Overhead track lighting (high CRI lights – CRI of 90+) shining at a 30° angle to the artwork is the ideal setup.
The “Eye-Level” Rule: Hang artwork so the center is approximately 57-60 inches from the floor, which is the average human eye level. In rooms where people are seated (living rooms), lower the height slightly. For gallery walls, vertically center all pieces as a single unit.
When placing artwork above a piece of furniture like a headboard or sofa, the ideal artwork size is 2/3rds of the width of the furniture piece. Large pieces work best in larger spaces as the ideal viewing distance is further back.
Use a strong enough anchor for the size of the piece you’re hanging, especially when mounting on drywall.
For elevated interior designs, anchor your room’s aesthetic to a focal wall art piece, furniture piece or rug. I love rugs, so I lean toward choosing artwork that matches a Persian rug in the room, but that’s just me.
