Production standards
The details that matter here.

Print size guide →
Paper grain
Choose sheet and grain before finalising a large format; they change how the finished piece hangs.
Paper library →Questions before we start.
Which papers work for editions?
Heavy cotton and mould-made sheets hold letterpress and screen best. We choose grain direction so the sheet hangs flat.
Can you number the edition?
Yes. Numbering and credits are set inside the finished trim, printed or left for hand signing.
Do I own the finished files?
Yes. The approved artwork and its production files are yours. Fonts licensed from others remain subject to their licence.
