Print Details
Everything worth knowing before a print lands on your wall. The short version: it shows up finished.
Two ways to hang it
Photo Print
Printed edge to edge on Fujifilm's professional Crystal Archive Lustre paper. That's a true photographic print, made with light on light-sensitive paper, not an inkjet. Then it's mounted to a rigid 3mm backing that won't warp, so it lies flat. Forever. No curling, no waves, no wrestling it into a frame.
Lustre is a semi-gloss surface with a subtle texture: rich color, sharp detail and much less glare than glossy paper. It also shrugs off fingerprints.
It's frame-ready: it drops straight into a standard frame of the same size, with no mat and no trimming. Or lean it on a shelf just as it is.
It's rated to last 100 years on display. (Two hundred in a dark drawer, but that's not why you bought it.)
Metal Print
Here your photo isn't printed onto the metal. Heat infuses it into the aluminum itself, edge to edge. That's where the color gets its punch, and why the surface is so tough. The glossy finish makes the color glow.
It's float-mounted: a hidden block on the back holds it off the wall, so the image looks like it's hovering.
It arrives ready to hang on a single nail. Unbox it, hang it, done. There's nothing else to buy or figure out.
It's durable and wipes clean, so it's a safe bet for kitchens, bathrooms, and anyone who moves more than they'd like.
Shelfies
5x7 prints with a white border, paired or grouped and packed as a set. Pop them into any 5x7 frame, set them on a shelf or easel, or tack them straight to the wall.
Sizes
Three sizes per image, made for real rooms:
- Shelf & Desk: 8x8 · 8x10 · 8x12
- Nook & Hallway: 16x16 · 16x20 · 16x24
- Statement: 24x24 · 24x30 · 24x36
Which sizes you get depends on the shape of the photo: square, a little wide, or wider. The biggest is 24x36, on purpose. That's big enough to anchor a wall without swallowing the room.
Every product page shows the print on a wall, to scale, so you're not guessing. (A tape measure is still allowed.)
Made for you
I prepare every file myself, then hand it to a lab that works only with professional photographers, the same kind of place that prints gallery work. They print it, mount it, check it, and ship it straight to you.
Shipping
Printed, packed, and shipped within 3–5 business days, packed flat so it stays flat. Shipping is free anywhere in the 50 states. No international shipping yet.
Arrives perfect, or I replace it
Every print is made just for you, so all sales are final. If yours gets damaged on the way, though, that's on me: send me photos or a short video within 14 days of delivery and I'll send a replacement. The details are on the Returns page.
Care
Photo Print: keep it out of direct sun and dust it with a soft, dry cloth.
Metal: a soft cloth, and a little water if it needs it. Skip harsh cleaners on both.
Treat it well and it'll last a lifetime, as long as your dog doesn't chew on it.
Screen vs. print
Every screen shows color a little differently, so the print won't be an exact match for your phone. It usually looks better.
