Paper Types for Open Edition Prints

Luster Photo Paper

A vibrant, semi-gloss paper with a soft sheen — perfect for home décor, gifting, and general display.

  • Satin finish with rich colour and detail
  • Great for everyday or budget-conscious buyers
  • Ideal for standard frames
  • Print longevity: Moderate (dye-based ink)

Giclée Fine Art Paper

Museum-quality archival paper, using pigment-based inks and acid-free matte or textured surfaces.

  • Exceptional colour depth, tonal range & fine detail
  • Printed to archival standards — won’t yellow or fade
  • Luxurious finish, perfect for collectors

💡 Giclée prints cost more because of the higher-quality paper, pigment-based inks, and gallery-standard longevity. They are designed to last a lifetime and beyond.

Professionally Printed — Personally Signed

All of my prints — whether Open or Limited Edition — are professionally produced by one of the UK’s top fine art printing labs. These aren’t mass-produced posters or something run off a home computer. Every image is printed with care, using high-quality papers, pigment inks, and expert colour calibration.

For Limited Edition prints, I personally check, sign, and number each one by hand before it’s carefully packaged and sent to you — along with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Because when you invest in a piece of art, you deserve something that’s made to last — and made with heart.
