Layout

We have two designs available, our default layout that caters for 99% of prints and a second specifically used for panoramic artwork that has a ration of 3:1 or higher.

ArtSure

ArtSure is a print assurance scheme developed and maintained by the Fine Art Trade Guild, they have certified a wide range of papers and printers to make it easy for print studios, artists and publishers to promote the quality of prints they produce and sell. All the papers and canvas we print on – with the exception of Matt Poster Paper 230gsm, see below – have been approved by the Fine Art Trade Guild under their ArtSure scheme and as a result, we include the ArtSure logo on our certificates.

Matt Poster Paper 230gsm

Matt Poster Paper at 230gsm falls below the required paper weight for the Fine Art Trade Guild to authenticate, this paper is however archival quality and has passed many International Standards test for quality. We can produce certificates for prints on this paper, however the ArtSure logo and accompanying text is removed.
