The Poster / Print finish is our versatile everyday choice: a high-resolution, smooth-surface print that keeps photographs and graphic art razor-sharp and true to colour.

The Poster / Print finish — clean, sharp and colour-accurate, ideal for photographic and graphic subjects.

What you get

  • Fine detail — every edge and gradient stays crisp, even up close.
  • Accurate, vivid colour — printed to match the artwork faithfully.
  • A clean, flat surface — modern and unobtrusive, framed or frameless.

  • Galleries & grids — consistent, repeatable look across multiple frames.
