Printing

Every print in the Mais. collection is produced in the UK by the lab — one of Europe’s leading fine art print labs — on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308.

The paper

Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 is a 100% cotton rag paper with no optical brightening agents. It has a natural white tone, a smooth matte surface, and a weight of 308gsm — substantial enough to feel considered in the hand.

Cotton rag is the material of choice for museum and archive printing. It is chemically stable, acid-free, and rated to last several hundred years without degradation under normal display conditions. There is no plastic coating, no brightener that will yellow with age — just cotton, pigment, and light.

The inks

Prints are made with pigment inks — not dye-based inks, which fade. Pigment inks are rated for light-fastness beyond 100 years under normal display conditions (away from direct sunlight, behind UV-protective glass if possible).

The result is a print that holds its shadow detail, its midtone separation, and the particular warmth or coolness of the original scene faithfully — not approximated.

Sizes

Size	Dimensions	Notes
A3	29.7 × 42 cm	Available on all prints

All prints include a white border. Portrait and landscape orientations are maintained as shot — the image is never cropped to fit a standard format.

Framing

Prints are supplied unframed, rolled in an acid-free archival tube. This keeps shipping costs down and gives you the flexibility to frame to your own taste and wall. Standard A-series sizes fit off-the-shelf frames from most suppliers.

Limited editions

Limited edition prints are hand-signed and numbered by the photographer before dispatch. Each is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity on Hahnemühle certificate paper, stating the edition number, print title, size, and date of production.
