Print on Demand Information and FAQs

The Kettle's Yard range of Print on Demand reproduction prints are printed, framed and sent directly to you by our Print on Demand partner King & McGaw from their print studio in Sussex.

Print on Demand prints are inkjet printing using light-fast UV cured pigment inks  on matt smooth 250gsm conservation digital paper.

We offer a range of framing options:

  • Black, painted solid ash showing the grain of the wood
  • White, painted solid ash showing the grain of the wood
  • Natural, solid oak with a hand-applied finishing wax
  • Gold, solid wood with a painted gilt finish

 

All frames are handmade and hand-finished in Sussex, UK. Window mounts are made from 600 microns thick, acid-free cotton core and the glazing is 2mm continuous cast acrylic for safety, optical clarity, UV protection. Cast acrylic is also recyclable.
