Working with my high quality suppliers, I can provide many different framing mouldings (only a few are shown here for guidance) and these include traditional wooden materials and light weight resin. All frames are supplied with either plain or non-reflecting glass. They can be presented with over mounts of differing colours which can be cut with chamfered "key holes" in them in order to include a caption of choice. As an alternative, I am are able to prepare your prints as an integrated image, i.e. without over mount, together with any choice of surround colour, key line, caption, logo text &c.

As all my images are of high resolution, sizes in excess of 24 inches by 36 inches (two feet by three feet and above) may be produced without loss of detail. Such large prints are ideal for reception areas, board rooms and similar locations. However, I advise that larger sizes than those above be presented on a different medium, such as Foamex &c, since very large frames become too heavy and unwieldy.

Professionally produced photo prints may have glossy or lustre surface finishes, and the completed framed print comes equipped with rings and chord - or wire if large - and ready to hang.

1. Bronze

Photo Printing Almost all my image output is nowadays on the medium of compact disk, since this is the clients' preferred method, allowing them to use the images in whatever form they wish on their computers. However, there are occasions where genuine photo prints still find a place, and I continue to offer these when requested
A standard range of sizes are offered from 6"x 4" right up to 50"x 30". Paper surface is glossy or lustre as required. I can also print onto metallic papers which is ideal for greyscale images (black & white) or high saturation colour pictures. Print sizes for this medium range from 10"x 8" up to a maximum size of 50" x 30"
Mounting and laminating Various types of substrate media are available on which to mount prints; this includes card, foam board, PVC Foamex and MDF. Foamex has a class 1 fire rating, is crush resistant and light weight and ideal for exhibition stands &c  Laminates for print protection are  available as a clear plastic coating in gloss or matt. Textured laminate is another version, which is available in canvas, linen, leather and emery finishes
Printed compact disks I have the facility to customise CDs. My pictures are output onto my own house style disk  but for those who wish to distribute our images, via duplicate CDs to, perhaps, their own customers
 I am happy and able (for a small set-up fee)
to offer the output on specifically prepared and printed disks. Please contact me for details.
