Fantastic question! And we’ve got the answer.
Let’s first explore canvas prints.
At Pattern & Home we use the finest quality 420gsm premium polycotton canvas for all of our canvas prints as well as state-of-the-art giclée printing techniques. This simply means the artwork you receive is on a beautiful, archival substrate that is resistant to scratching and UV light and has beautiful rich colour that is true to the original artwork.
We offer both framed canvas prints and rolled canvas. Our framed canvas prints are hand-crafted in Australia by Guild-recognised framers and are ready to hang on your wall the moment they arrive! The frame is approximately 38mm deep so it sits boldly on your wall and is the closest in look to an original painting.
Our rolled canvas option is great if you would like to frame the artwork yourself. We print the artwork with a 6cm mirrored bleed and a white border so you have the option of taking the work to your local framer and getting it stretched on pine stretcher bars and framed in any style you choose. This option is also great if you live overseas, as it is far more cost effective to buy rolled canvas which we can ship in a sturdy art mailing tube and then get your print framed at your local framer.
Let’s explore paper prints.
At Pattern & Home our fine art prints are printed on thick 280gsm smooth cotton rag which is archival quality, has a lightly textured finish and ensures rich and accurate colours every time. We also offer both unframed paper prints and framed paper prints.
Our framed paper prints are hand-crafted here in Australia by Guild-recognised framers and are ready to hang the moment you receive them with D rings and hanging wire attached. Our framed paper prints come sealed behind a lightweight 3mm acrylic with a glossy and transparent finish. They are UV-resistant, break-resistant, and ideal for modern framed artwork.
Our unframed paper prints come printed to the edge of the paper, meaning there is no wasted paper and you get an image true to size. You then have the freedom to decide whether you frame your artwork with or without a matt board, or you could even choose to mount the artwork in the frame for that beautiful float frame effect.
We also offer our unframed paper prints in standard sizes so you can purchase ready-made frames at affordable prices from many retailers. There are many fantastic brands out there – all you must look for when deciding on a frame is ‘acid-free’, this is important so as not to cause any damage to your artwork as it hangs in the frame. In summary, the possibilities are endless and exciting when you purchase a paper print! This is where you can get creative, source vintage frames and unique styles to really elevate the art and let it be a feature in your beautiful home.
