Are the prints supplied mounted?
Yes if requested. Select from the options available on the order form.
The mounted prints are mounted using Conservation mountboard in either white or cream core. The print is secured to the mountboard using Conservation tape which has a neutral PH to prevent the damage often caused by cheaper tapes. The mounted print is also supplied with a Barrier board which is a neutral PH barrier which is placed behind the artwork to prevent the damage caused by acidic picture frame backboards.

Do the prints have a border?
Yes. Prints have a 1.5 inch (37.5mm) to 3 inch (75mm) white border on all sides depending on image size.
By default, a print title and signature ('Steve Smith Photography') is printed in the bottom border. This text is generally hidden by the mountboard during framing, although can be made visible by selective sizing of the mountboard.
If required the title and signature text can be omitted by unchecking the 'With Titles' checkbox on the order form.
