Materials: Art map prints are printed with only the top-quality materials. For décor prints, I use acid-free, museum quality paper featuring a natural white finish and slightly textured surface. For canvas prints, I use heavy weight, fine art, and archival canvas material featuring an intricately woven material. Canvases are hand stretched with a gallery wrap. I use 0.75” and 1.5” (for larger prints) stretcher bars with staples on the back. For notecards, I use a classic matte white paper with a smooth, non-glossy finish. All décor and canvas print options are printed using giclée printing methods. Giclée is a French term referring to prints made by a fine art inkjet printer. All décor and canvas prints are printed with UV protected inks that will stand the test of time.

Sizes: All sizes are not listed here. Please contact me for a quote on a specific custom size for prints. I can print your art map in a variety of other sizes.
