Paper, Printing, Mounts & Framing

What is a Giclée Print?

Giclée printing is a digital reproduction technique for art and photography using inkjet printers to spray pigment-based inks onto quality paper or canvas. Want to know more? Click here.

What type of paper do you use to print and can I choose?

Our artists get to choose from two Giclée fine art papers to showcase their art. There are two types Hahnemühle Pearl that has a pronounced texture, ensuring rich black reproduction and vibrant colour intensity or Hahnemühle Photorag that boasts a super matte finish that places it among the preferred choices of artists, illustrators, and photographers.

What are your frames made of?

Crafted in London, our handmade frames are fashioned from the best FSC certified sustainable wood. Our frames feature solid oak wood that have archival quality and are acid free. We offer these frames in either black, white or natural oak.

Do you offer Glass or Acrylic in your frames?

Our frame windows are constructed using edge-ground float glass that integrates a UV filter of approximately 44%. This filter is designed to shield artworks from UV light damage, reducing fading and other forms of deterioration. For sizes A1 and larger, we use high quality 3mm clear acrylic to provide protection against potential transit damage.

What is the difference between full bleed and mounting?

Full-bleed printing is when the image covers the paper edge to edge without borders or margins. A full bleed lets your frame act as the border creating a dynamic feature image.

A mount is a great way to enhance your piece within the frame, adding impact and allure to the piece as well as keeping it safe, the mount acts as support to protect the print underneath.

What is mounting?

Good question. Mounted prints have the same look as other printed photos but include a rigid backing. This backing protects the image from warping and damaged corners. You can display these mounted images or store them with confidence that they will stay in the best condition, just like the day you bought them.

What do I do if I want something bigger?

We know that once in a while everyone likes something uber unique so drop us an email here, let us know your vision and we
will make the magic happen.

How do I hang my 2AM Artwork?

Our Small and Medium frames come with D-rings and cable, and our Large and Huge frames come with metal straphangers for extra security which can support the heavier weight.

To hang a frame using our cable support, choose the location and consider stud placement. Measure, mark, and level the wall. Select an appropriate nail or hook based on weight. Hammer it in at a slight upward angle for nails. Hang the frame, adjust for levelness, and confirm stability.

For metal strap hangers, similar to the above, find the appropriate nail based on the weight and drill in to the wall on mark on made from both sides and hook it on.

Step back and enjoy. NB we don’t advise hanging artwork at the hours of 2am!
