Custom Prints Information & FAQs

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

Custom Prints prints are inkjet printed 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 wood with oak veneer and wax finish
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 and UV protection. Cast acrylic is also recyclable.
