THE POEM:

true friends are hard to find, and worth their weight in gold,.. an ear to always listen, and sometimes a hand to hold,.. they share with you fond memories, and all those precious things,.. that after a glass or two of wine, make you belly laugh and sing,.. they remind you of the times you’ve had, now how long has it been?,.. surely we are not that old? I only feel nineteen,.. they live through your relationships, the good bad and the rest,.. and survive, like you, to tell the tale, they really are the best,.. life is full of highs and lows, and precious is our time,.. so make sure that you appreciate them, like I do friend of mine.. x

FAQ'S:

How Long does personalisation and framing take?

Standard prints can usually be dispatched immediately.  Personalisation can take up to 10 working days - and framing another 10 working days on top due to the hand made nature of the work.

Can you do bespoke colours to match something?

Yes - but our standard colours have been tried and tested in the printing process - so if you want to quote a pantone reference, we cannot guarantee how it will come out in the print.  Please contact us with any queries.  There is an extra fee for this service.

What is a giclee print?

The word "giclée" was created by Jack Duganne, a print maker, he wanted a name for the new type of prints they were producing on a large format high resolution ink-jet printer they had adapted for fine art printing. In the past few years, the word “giclée,” as a fine art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant, archival inks with multiple colour levels which increase the apparent resolution and color integrity. Basically they are the best digital prints you can buy, and are used in fine art 'reproduction prints'.

What is a archival paper?

It is a specially coated art card, which produces the best finish with the inks.  We use a silk on our bright colours for an extra "ping" of colour intensity - and a 

How are the prints framed?

Our local framer is second to none.  He frames for the likes of Paul Smith (who ship to him every week) as well as top London Galleries.  We are so proud that he has taken on our work and the finish is lovely.  He uses top grade smooth finish matt painted wood frames (22-40mm depending on the frame) which is cut, glued and fixed in house.  The white core black and snow white thick mounts are cut by hand to fit each piece.  They are then finished with top grade acrylic - which has 99% clarity, without the health and safety and breakage problems of glass.  It actually costs us more!  They are pre strapped ready to hang.  This process takes in itself up to 10 working days due to the work log we now have and the handi work involved.

Where can I get standard High Street ones and what is the difference?

Our STANDARD prints are printed to A3 - 42x30cm (some have a 5mm white edge for handling), which normally fit into 'off the shelf' frames (which include card mounts) from £15 at Ikea and a bit more at Habitat and BHS to name a few.  Failing that - why not use your local framer?  It is worth asking - as the quality of the mount card, frame and finish are clearly superior.  But if you just want something quick and easy you can use the IKEA frames which are simply stapled MDF with thin card and glass.  It really is up to you... but as the old addage goes... you get what you pay for.
