the product
South Downs map print sizes:
100 x 70 cm - B1 - (original design size)
84.1 x 59.4 cm - A1
product types:
print only on paper: 270 gsm (grams per square meter) fine art paper - a beautiful, off-white ivory paper. Printed using the latest HP fine art Giclee printing technology, guaranteeing the artworks colour integrity for up to 200 years.
framed print: printed on our beautiful ivory 270 gsm fine art paper and 'dry mounted' to ensure perfect stability. Spacers are added inside the frame to separate the artwork from the inside of the glazing. The back is sealed with framing tape to prevent dust, grime and creepy crawlies getting in. A string hanger is firmly fitted, bumpers on the bottom corners and L brackets to the top corners for larger heavier pieces for more secure hanging. Complementary wall hooks also included.
print only on canvas: artwork printed on 280 gsm cotton / polyester canvas rather than paper. The print comes with excess canvas material around the artwork perimeter for you to stretch it.
Stretched canvas print: printed on 280 gsm polyester cotton canvas. The artwork is stretched around a stretcher frame and fixed in place. Frame tape dresses the back, a string hanger and bumpers are added to the back so it's ready to hang.
Framed canvas print: printed on 280 gsm polyester cotton canvas. The artwork is stretched around a stretcher frame and fixed in place before being set in the display frame. The same brown frame tape, string hanger and bumpers are added to the back. Remember there is no glazing for canvas prints, the artwork is exposed, which is fabulous for viewing the work from any angle around the room as there is no glare.
South Downs frame options: there are 3 frame choices available from the cartographic arts.
matt black - 30 mm / 35 mm - width & depth
matt white - 30 mm / 35 mm - width & depth
light walnut - 28.5 mm / 38 mm - width & depth
