certificate of
authenticity:
YR Walker Photoart images come with a Certificate of Authenticity stating:

image sizes:
The image sizes are based on the A Series Paper Sizes:
A3 (420x297mm) A2 (594x420mm) A1 (841x594mm) A0 (1189x841mm)
Image sizes and availability are indicated on the page featuring the particular image.
Either the height or the width will be an A series measurement and the other
side will be determined by the aspect ratio of the image.
The Sizes will be referred to as A3: S (small) A2: M (medium) A1: L (large) AO: XL (extra-large)
Also there will be a maximum size referred to as MAX. Maximum sizes will vary
from image to image and are available on request.
If the standard sizes do not suit your needs, customised sizes are available on request.
All images will have ‘yr walker’ in small print finely blended on the right or
left bottom corner of the image.
fine art paper: (print only - no frame)
YR Walker Photoart images are printed on water resistant, acid free, 100% cotton rag fine art papers.
Archival pigment ink is used to ensure the images will be light fast for well
over 75 years.
When an image is printed on paper, the paper size will be slightly larger than the image.
As
a result the printed
image will have a white border around it to allow for the matboard
and frame.
Taking your fine art paper print to a professional picture framer gives you
creative control over the final presentation.
A hands on experience when personally choosing matboard colours and frame styles
with the expertise of the framer is the best way to complete the picture!
Once your print is framed it will begin a new life of its own!
art mount: (ready to hang)
Image lustre laminated and mounted to 20mm foam core with black or white plastic edge applied.
A quite solid 20mm substrate that allows for large images to be mounted without bowing.
Excellent archival qualities means this product is great for long term use.
stretched canvas: (ready to hang)
YR Walker Photoart images are printed on the best quality water resistant cotton
blend canvas, using the latest digital technology, archival pigment inks and
stretching bars available.
The canvas is traditionally stretched over 40mm deep stretcher bars. As another
option we also offer 20mm deep stretcher bars for smaller sized images.
A liquid heat set laminate coating is finally applied to ensure your canvas is
moisture/UV protected and colour stable for well over 100 years.
Your final canvas presentation is custom hand stretched on quality kiln dried
pine frames then strung ready to hang and enjoy.
An information sheet outlining cleaning and handling is attached to the back of
every canvas print.
Just as much care is taken on the back of your canvas.
Stretched
Canvas Example
To give the impression your image is wrapped all the way around the edge of the
canvas frame, an extension of your image on all four edges will be created
using either a mirroring or blurring technique.
This process does not affect the actual image or its size. When viewed from the
front, your image will extend exactly to all four edges.
When viewed from the sides it will match and look as if it is part of the image.
Blurring

Mirroring
Example
canvas block: (ready to hang)
This takes your stretched canvas image to another level. The canvas image is placed snuggly inside a box frame. Canvas Block Example Your canvas will look to be floating within the box frame.
Frames are available in
black, walnut, and white.
acrylic mount:
(ready to hang)
The ultimate finish. Popular with artists and photographers.
An Archival Polyester print face is mounted on a 3mm optically clear acrylic
sheet. Then a final 3mm metal panel is applied to the back.
When viewed through the acrylic, the colour and vibrancy of the image is
intensified. The hidden mount gives a ‘floating - hovering’ effect against the
wall.
wall paper: (Eco-Friendly)
This product is suitable for permanent or short term indoor wall graphics.
The
wall paper stock is printed with Eco-friendly UV Latex ink & pre-pasted so
individual panels are rolled and placed in water to activate the adhesive then
hung as per standard wall papers.
The panels can be butt joined together with no overlap, but it is recommended to
have a 10mm overlap.
There are no special requirements for the wall surface to be covered other than
a painted smooth (plasterboard type) surface.
This product is a 100% environmentally friendly & recyclable permanent wall
graphic stock with an excellent finish and durability.
Removal of wall paper can be done by wetting installed paper with a wet sponge
to soften adhesive paste and simply peel away.
The
wallpaper is US Greenguard Certified for use in hospitals & childcare centres.

Matboard
Example
The framer may ask you whether you want a single or double mat. Sometimes the double mat can make a certain image more effective. You can even go triple mat etc.
Depending upon the framer, there are numerous creative options and ways of
presenting the image, ranging from plain to ornate. Matching a frame depends a
great deal on the artistic style of the image.
