We offer two choices of mould made paper, White from Hahnemuhle and a Soft White from Somerset as standard. To compliment these fine papers you can select from a sepia or black ink, as you can see from the images above these choices allow you to choose the feel of the finished piece. We can offer alternative papers, inks and framing mouldings on request.
We have three size ranges, where size refers to the image which can be any size up to the maximum on either dimension of the range. See Prints Size Required below.

What Type of Digital File?
Most modern digital cameras, when set to Large file size, will produce a jpeg file that will be suitable to create a photo-etching. If the file size is too small (this is very rare) we will contact you and we will not print the image until we have a new or larger file. You don't need to make any adjustments to the file before sending, we use your colour jpeg image and make the adjustments in our studio. Click here to visit our FAQ page.
What Type of Image Works Well?
Because the print is quite different from a normal photographic print, most images will print very well as we aim to produce an artful result. The best results are from images that are simple and unfussy, we often describe them as "classical", portraiture is particularly effective.
