OUR PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in our collaborative art store. Below you will find some details about the paper that your chosen artwork is printed on. Each image is unique in dimensions. The size listed in the store will be the printed of the image. As our gift, your print will come with a 5cm white reveal all the way around. You will then have the choice to frame right to the printed area or include the white space.

PAPERS

All images are printed on quality fine art Canson papers made with excellence, tradition and innovation from a company that has milled for over 450 years and adapted this long-standing process to the digital age of printing. Artists acknowledge the excellence of Canson products and Canson is driven by tradition and respects their duty to always provide consumers with outstanding paper.

The paper is only part of our process. Without Epson, the best printers and ultrachrome inks for fine art print making, custom built ICC profiles for each paper, along with an experienced master printer to bring it all together you could not achieve optimal results.

Each artist has chosen papers to individually suit their images and you can find out more about the various finishes below.

CARING FOR YOUR PRINT

Your artwork is printed on fine art paper and should be handled delicately and with care. Your delivery includes a complimentary pair of cotton gloves to assist with this process.

FRAMING

The Creative Mix site is optimized for print sales only as there is so much variation in the styles of work and the size or shape, however if you would like details on framing with us please note this at checkout and someone will be in touch.
