I wanted to talk about quality and why I chose Queensberry to print and frame my work.  

Generally you purchase a fine art photo because it emotionally says something to you and makes you feel happy to look at it.   And you want it to last.  

I wanted to offer artworks that will last and that are printed on top quality papers, with the same care and attention that I took to making the photo.  

Although the printers don’t have to sit out in all weathers waiting for the right light or returning to a spot again and again to get the shot you know is there, I’m sure you get what I mean.  They are professionals in their field and are very experienced and creative.  

This will sound like an ad for Queensberry and I guess it is because we work together and if the company printing and framing my work isn’t up to the standard I want, then my work doesn’t look good and I won’t want to offer it to my clients.  

Queensberry is a family company, they have been operating in New Zealand with clients from all over the world for over 50 years.   Nothing is too much trouble for them to help the client achieve what they need. 

Their products are handmade to order, and they are very proud to deliver their world class products.  

And I am proud to offer their work, knowing that my clients will receive the best.  

The heart of every fine art image is the printed image and the stock it's printed on. 

Queensberry card and paper stocks are chosen for their quality, durability, appearance, and suitability for purpose. All are pH-buffered to ensure they remain acid-free over a lifetime. 

I offer two beautiful paper stocks, 100% cotton rag papers are museum quality mould made papers and are the perfect choice for crisp detail.  Fine Art Paper is a high quality stock, slightly lighter than cotton rag and producing a professional, conservation quality art print.  

I also offer loose matted prints, these are printed with one of  the two beautiful papers mentioned above and arrive fully assembled, with a protective cover sheet, ready to frame in a frame of your choice if you wish or if you wish to give these as a gift the recipient can choose a frame of their choice.  

These are available in 10in x 8in mats and 14in x 11in mats.  

Canvas prints are offered in two ranges.  Fine Art which is a cotton polyester canvas, fine art inkjet printing and museum grade lacquer (this gives a lustre finish, protects against moisture and UV damage, but don’t sit your artworks in sunllight).  The Standard canvas is another cotton polyester canvas, with long life latex inkjet printing and a museum grade lacquer as above.  

I know I go on about quality but it's so important to me and I hope my clients.  The details are perhaps too much but I want to emphasise how important it is.  

If you purchase a quality product that will last for years and can be passed down to the next generation if you wish, what more can you ask for from your artworks.
