Open Hearth: Fine Art Print

Our prints are giclée printed with pigment inks that hold their colour for decades.

Print-only: 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching, a heavyweight paper with a soft, textured surface.

Framed: 240gsm smooth art paper, in a sustainably sourced wood box frame (black, white or natural oak laminate), glazed with museum-grade anti-reflective acrylic. Reflections are greatly reduced, so the print stays clearer. It also blocks 99% of UV, which helps stop the colours fading.

What is a mount?
A mount is a sheet of 2.4mm white, acid-free, conservation-grade board with a window cut into it. It sits inside the frame, between the print and the glazing, so the print shows through the window with a band of board all the way round.

What it does
It gives the image space. The band of white separates the artwork from the frame, so your eye goes to the painting, not the edge. The window is cut at an angle, leaving a fine bevel around the image, the finish you’d see on work in a gallery.

It also protects the print. The board holds the paper away from the acrylic, so the two never touch, and because it’s acid-free it won’t yellow or mark the print over time.

What it does to the size
The mount is 5cm wide and fits inside the frame. The frame stays the same size on your wall, and the image becomes 10cm smaller in each direction. A Classic 60 x 60cm print, for example, becomes a 50 x 50cm image with a mount. Your selection summary shows the exact image size for whichever size you choose.

Why not on Compact?
A mount on our smallest frame would leave an image just 30cm across. Sally’s paintings are built from layers and fine detail, and at that size too much of it is lost. If you’d like a mount on a smaller print, choose Studio.

Dust the acrylic glazing with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If it needs more, use a cloth barely dampened with plain water. Don’t use soap, sprays or solvents; the anti-reflective surface resists marks on its own. Clean the frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away.

If you’ve bought a print-only, handle it by the edges with clean, dry hands, and keep it flat and out of the light until it’s framed.

Keep prints out of direct sunlight and away from heat. The glazing blocks 99.8% of UV, but less light still means colours last longer.

Once we receive your order, we’ll email you a confirmation. Your print is then made to order (giclée printed, and framed and glazed if you’ve chosen a frame), packed and sent directly to you. Please allow up to 15 working days. We’ll send tracking details as soon as it’s on its way.

Because our prints come in standard sizes and materials, you can cancel for any reason within 14 days of receiving your order, even though it’s made after you buy. Bespoke sizes are made to your specification, so this right doesn’t apply to them. If your print arrives damaged or faulty, we’ll always put it right. Full details are in our Refunds & Returns policy.

Are frames included?
Only if you choose one. Each print is available print-only, or framed in a wood box frame (black, white or natural oak laminate), glazed with 3mm Motheye museum acrylic and ready to hang.

What is the glazing made from?
We use 3mm Motheye museum acrylic instead of glass. Its surface is modelled on the structure of a moth’s eye, which cuts glare to almost nothing and resists fingerprints. It’s also far lighter than glass and much harder to break.

How durable are the colours?
Our prints are made with giclée printing, which uses fine-particle pigment inks for deep colour that lasts. On framed prints, the glazing blocks 99.8% of UV light while letting 98.6% of visible light through, so with a little care your print will keep its colour for many years.

Can I order a custom size print?
We’re happy to discuss larger sizes. We don’t make prints smaller than our stated range, because the layers and fine detail get lost at small sizes. Bespoke sizes are made to order, so please get in touch to talk through what’s possible.
