FRAMING GUIDE
CONTEMPORARY FINE ART, SWISS-PRINTED AND -FRAMED, READY TO HANG
All artworks are printed in Zürich in a state-of-the-art print lab using solely archival pigments and framed using the most up-to-date techniques and components.
Fine art prints mounted under acrylic glass are produced using a unique Swiss technology (patented) with gallery-quality liquid silicone and are not to be confused with an inferior quality direct print on acrylic glass.
FINE ART PRINT UNDER ACRYLIC GLASS
Crystal clear, glossy look with intense colors and floating effect.
To create this type of finishing the artwork is sealed between one 4mm and another 3mm thick glossy acrylic glass with a permanently liquid silicone. This highly sophisticated patented technology offers impressive quality, color brilliance and best longevity of the artwork.
This framing has aluminium rails on the back side and is ready to hang.
HIGH DEFINITION CHROMALUXE PRINT ON ALUMINIUM
Impressive shiny optics with exceptionally vivid colors and floating effect.
Using a state-of-the-art printing technique, called thermal sublimation, the fine art pigments are vaporised under high pressure and temperature to coating of the aluminium and form a permanent bond.
This kind of print is thin, very low in weight, but extremely sturdy, weather and water resistant and even suitable for sheltered outdoor areas.
Aluminium rails are attached on the back side and the artwork comes ready to hang.
FINE ART PRINT IN A SOLID OAK WOOD FRAME
Offers classic, understated appearance.
Solid oak wood frame subtly encases an artwork when viewed from the front, but shows an impressive depth when it is viewed from the side.
To create this type of finishing the chosen artwork is printed on high-quality glossy art paper using archival pigments and is then set on 1mm aluminium backing for extra stability. A matte, absolutely reflection-free protective laminate film with a UV-filter then seals the artwork.
Lastly, a solid wood frame encases the laminated artwork to give it delicate and understated look when viewed from the front. From the side, a subtle wood frame structure opens to the view.
Final format: chosen artwork is encased in a 3cm deep solid wood framing with a 3mm thin front border in white or black. This framing has metal corner mounts on the back side and is ready to hang.
FINE ART PRINT MOUNTED ON ALUMINIUM (ALU-DIBOND)
Offers matte, puristic look with floating effect.
A long-lasting, gallery-ready piece with minimalistic design is created with a 3mm aluminum Dibond backing and a matte-finish UV protective laminate. For hanging, a 10mm aluminium profile is mounted on the back, away from edges, to ensure a floating effect.
With its purist look and clean presentation on the wall, this kind of finishing is absolutely reflection-free and appears black when viewed from the side. The high-quality laminate protects the artwork against UV rays and dust.
Mounted on aluminium backing, the artwork is extremely sturdy and light-weight in every size, which makes it perfect for large formats.
Final format: 3mm thick, matte, reflection-free and borderless artwork with 10mm aluminium (C) rail along all edges on the backside, ready to hang.
FINE ART PIGMENT PRINT
Printed with a white border, it can be inserted into a passe-partout frame.
Also called Giclée Print, Fine Art Print is the finest photo print of outstanding quality, which is said to last a lifetime.
All THE WALL DRESSER artworks are printed on fine art Hahnemühle Photo-Rag ultra smooth 305gsm paper, using Epson UltraChrome Pro archival pigments. This 100% cotton paper is matte and has a beautiful, lightly textured surface.
