Unmounted prints are suitable for hinge mounting behind a mount (matt) with a nominal 3mm overlap and framing behind glass.

Paper prints are suitable for adding metal leaf. However, we recommend canvas as it works best, especially when sealed to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation.

Once you have placed the order, you will receive a confirmation of the order. To send us the image for printing, use that same email you received and attach the image or a WeTransfer link for us to download.

The higher the image resolution you provide us with, the better.

Industry standard publishing quality is 300dpi, which is ideal, though we recommend a minimum of 72dpi.

We upscale all images to 300dpi before printing to preserve the existing image definition, but we cannot create new definition that is not in the original image we receive.

We print all images exactly as received and match each print as closely as possible to the image as displayed on our computer screen.

We are able to provide A4 proofs on paper upon request and this is recommended if colour, tone and contrast are particularly critical.

We are able to edit images to crop, extend into a bleed or border, remove blemishes and make colour / brightness / contrast changes upon request and at a nominal charge.

Contact us to discuss any editing required.

For sizes from A4 to A2, standard cut sheet media is used and we will print with a small border of a few mm minimum. There may be a slightly larger border on two opposite sides where the image is not the exact same aspect ratio as the media.

If the image is to be cropped to fit the media, or if a specific border is required all around the image, contact us to let us know.

For sizes above A2, roll feed media is used and there may be an additional white border around the image which may be trimmed if required.

All prints should either be framed behind glass, varnished or laminated for resilience.

Prints should not contact the glass or they will deteriorate over time. Always use a mount to separate the paper from the glass.

Handle prints carefully to avoid creasing or scuffing. Do not roll tightly. Do not touch or rub the surface. Do not expose to moisture.

We offer a wide range of services for printing orders such as framing, glazing, mounting, lamination and dry-mounting. Contact us to discuss your options at info@ryoung-art.com
