About Our Prints...
At this time, all prints available on this site are printed by Port Townsend Art.com. We use the term "decorative prints" to describe our prints. Think of them as giant cards suitable for framing. While they may be prints of fine art, they are not truly "fine art prints". But they are beautiful, durable, accurate, and inexpensive reproductions that should maintain their beauty for decades. Our prints are all 11"x 14", printed on heavy cardstock, and include an extra heavy white acid free backing board. The image size is approximately (no larger than) 8"x 10". Whenever possible, we size the image to fit a standard 8"x 10" photo mat (widely available and inexpensive 11"x 14" mats with a 7.5"x 9.5" opening - many frames, including the wood frames available here, include this standard size mat.) Because we print to this standard size, there is usually no need to mount the prints (i.e. - no tape or glue required, and you can easily change your mind.) The prints also come with a faux mat printed around the image so they have the appearance of a matted print even without a mat. This provides a great combination of affordability, flexability, and convenience. You can dress these prints up or dress them down and they'll look great either way. You can put one of these prints, matted or unmatted, in an inexpensive frame for a fine looking, yet affordable decorative gift. Take one of our inexpensive prints to a custom framer for royal finery, and it will look replendent. The options are myriad so you can feel free to be creative.
We offer the following (admittedly small) selection of mats and frames so you can order finished, ready to hang, gifts of art. (We hope to expand the choices in the future.) Unless you instruct us othewise, all matted and/or framed prints come fully assembled and ready to hang.
Mat Options...
Our mats are made from Crescent Whitecore Matboard - a non-conservation white core matboard that provides the aesthetic and design benefits of a bright white bevel. Buffered– pH neutral.
