Framing

+ What is the difference between matt and no matt?
We have two framing options, pictured above on the left is the option of a matt. On the right is the option with no matt. The framed matt option will be larger in person than the no matt option. We use a 80/90mm matt with our smaller prints and a 90/100mm matt with our larger prints. The no matt prints have a 45/55mm unprinted border around the print when framed. Our smallest print, the petite print (245 x 245mm) has a 25 x 35mm unprinted border when framed. The no matt option costs a little less.

+ What are the different listed frame options?
We have a range of frame options available, each chosen to suit the size if the print.
The smaller black & white 20w x 30d and the raw oak 20w x 20d frames are available for the smaller prints under 500mm high or 600mm wide. We also have two brown 25w x 37h frames that we use for the mid range sizes. We use the larger black & white 30w x 40d and raw oak 40w x 34d frames for prints over 500mm high or 600mm wide.
Our black & white frames are made in NZ from pine with a durable smooth painted finish. The two brown frames are made from NZ pine, are stained and have textured finish. The raw oak is a beautiful, solid, natural raw finish.
Please enquire f you would like a different frame to what is available.

+ What is the matt option?
The matt is a more traditional look and creates a large peice overall. The option listed is for a matt placed against the print, with a 15/20mm space between the image edge and the matt to accommodate the edition number, title and signature as pictured above.

+ What is the no matt option?
The no matt option is exactly that. There is no matt, the frame goes to the edge of the print with the unprinted border visible. For all prints other than the petite prints this border is 50mm on the top and sides and 60mm on the bottom.
We also set the print back 15mm from the glass which has a lovely effect when looking into it.

+ Can I get a different frame or non-reflective glass?
Yes you can customise your order to suit. The pricing listed is for a black, white, brown, dark brown or oak frame and regular glass. Also if you wish to have your artwork framed using a specialist glass for UV protection & anti-reflective qualities, please contact us.

All frame prices are using regular glass. We can arrange for your print to be framed using Tru Vue® non-reflective glass. Please contact us for pricing.

The Ultra Vue® UV70  water white glass offers crystal clear colour transmission and a virtually invisible, anti-reflective surface for truly amazing clarity.  Provides glare free enjoyment of artwork or photographs without distortion.
This glass has been developed to provide clarity and is recommended for items where UV light protection is not the primary consideration.
