Make it match the gallery look
Framing tips
Our prints ship unframed in a protective tube. Here's how to frame them so they look the way you saw them in the wall preview.
Specifications
What we recommend
Match the look in the preview with archival, gallery-grade materials.
Mat
2.5cm wide, snow white, acid-free archival board. The mat lifts the paper off the glazing and gives the image room to breathe.
Backing
Acid-free foam core or similar. Avoid standard cardboard — it yellows and can leach acid into the paper over time.
Glazing
UV-filtering glass or acrylic — protects the print from fading in daylight. Museum-grade anti-reflective glass is the gold standard.
Frame
Solid wood, no MDF, in any colour you like. Black, natural oak, and white all work — try them in the wall preview before you commit.
Local craft
Where to frame
Most local framers can do this in a week or two.
Take your print to a local custom framer and ask for an archival mount with the materials above. They'll do the cutting, mounting, and assembly — you collect a finished piece ready to hang.
Typical cost is A$120–A$200 depending on size and frame material. A larger print or a hardwood frame sits at the upper end; a smaller print in a simple moulding sits at the lower end.
About the paper
We print on premium 240gsm lustre photo paper — satin finish, bright white, archival, pigment inks rated for 100+ years displayed indoors.
Lustre photo paper is the standard surface for landscape photography prints — its subtle pearl texture preserves apparent sharpness and rich colour reproduction, while the satin finish keeps glare manageable when the print sits under glass.
Handling
Avoid touching the printed surface — handle by the white border or by the corners. Lustre paper is more forgiving than cotton, but oils and fingerprints can still mark the satin coating before it's behind glass.
Store the tube flat or upright in a dry place if you can't frame it straight away.
